Who had not heard of Prometheus?
In the battle between Zeus and the Titans led by Cronus, although he was a descendant of the Titan God, he stood on the side of the new Olympian God. As a result, he was recognized by Zeus and stayed on Mount Olympus.
In Greek mythology, it was Prometheus, the god of Titans, who created mankind.
He also served as a teacher to mankind, and taught them everything that was useful to them, and that would make them happy and satisfied. Likewise, they thanked him and repaid him with love and loyalty. But Zeus, the supreme leader of the gods, demanded that they worship him and offer him the best. Prometheus offended Zeus when he defended mankind.
As a punishment, Zeus refused to give mankind the last thing they needed to complete their civilization: fire.
But Prometheus was quick to find a way to remedy this defect. He took a branch of the wood fennel, went to the sun chariot, and as it passed by, he thrust the branch into its flame until it burst into flames.
He brought it down to earth and brought it to mankind, and immediately the first column of fire rose into the sky. Zeus was furious, and when he saw the fire rising from the midst of mankind and spreading far and wide, he felt a stab of pain in his soul.
Zeus was enraged, and he commanded the god of fire to give Prometheus the severest punishment.
But Hephaestus, the god of fire, admired Prometheus, and whispered to him, "If you admit your mistake to Zeus and return the fire, I will ask Zeus to forgive you."
Prometheus shook his head and said firmly, "What is wrong with doing good for mankind? I can bear all kinds of pain, but I will never admit my mistake, and I will never return the fire! "
Not daring to disobey Zeus, Vulcan and his two servants used violence and force to take Prometheus to the Caucasus Mountains, where they tied him to a steep cliff with an iron chain that could never be broken, so that he could never sleep, his tired knees could not bend, and a diamond nail was nailed to his heaving chest. He endured hunger, wind, and sun.
In addition, Zeus also sent a vulture to peck at Prometheus's liver every day. The liver was eaten up during the day, but it would grow back at night. In this way, Prometheus's suffering would never end. Even so, Prometheus did not give in. And so, day after day, year after year. Until a famous strongman, Hercules, shot the vulture to death with an arrow, and broke the iron chain with a stone to free him, he endured indescribable pain and torment.
… …
"The story is good, but it is too one-sided."
Grindelwald nodded as he listened to Jon's story of Prometheus, but after he finished, he showed a different meaning.
"In the Greek pantheon, Prometheus was the God of Seers. His wife merely shared his authority and thus received the name of the Goddess of Foresight."
Since it involved the relationship between the gods, then Grindelwald had to say more.
As a legendary wizard who could connect to the Deep Blue Sea, part of his understanding of the gods came from the records of the Deep Blue Sea.
These records were very precious. Although they were not necessarily interesting, they were true.
The ancient Greek civilization was one of the origins of the entire Western civilization, but to be able to become the origin of many other civilizations, it proved that they were not only the origin.
They must have done something else that allowed them to stand in the position of origin.
The so-called origin was the civilization that existed and continued before the Wizard's civilization. Mr. Karstene's method of stealing knowledge from the gods coincided with Prometheus' actions.
"So, Mr. Karstene is actually a believer of the gods."
"If you want to say it like that, then I don't think there is a big mistake, but there is another meaning."
Grindelwald lowered his head and asked.
"Senior Helga, didn't I tell you about the War of the Gods?"
Jon tried hard to recall, then nodded.
"I did say a little, but ancestor Helga didn't say much."
The War of the Gods that Helga told him was the secret battle between the ancient Greek and Roman gods. However, it was not really a War of the Gods. It was just a one-sided battle.
In the timeline, in the later period of the ancient Roman period, the ancient Greek gods withdrew from the stage and used the ancient Roman gods to face the humans.
"Yes, I want to talk about the War of the Gods at that time."
Grindelwald was very satisfied with Jon's behavior. "You are very familiar with history, so you should know that at the end of the Dark Age, when the ancient Egyptian gods declined, something happened at the same time."
Of course, Jon knew about this because he had deliberately looked into it before.
It was the war between the Roman Empire and ancient Egypt.
This war was actually inconclusive, but everyone knew very well that the ancient Romans won, and the ancient Egyptians were unable to recover from this setback. In the end, even the entire race was wiped out.
But what did this have to do with the Wizard?
During the time when the ancient Egyptians were in trouble, the Wizard system had not yet developed. It was struggling to survive under the pressure of the Era of the Gods.
"How could it not have anything to do with it?"
Grindelwald said, "The ancient Greek myths did not end. They were just hiding behind the scenes. And you have to know that the gods of a god system are not immortal. Guess who took over after the death of the god Zeus?"
Could the gods die?
Such a question appeared in Jon's mind because in every myth, there was no clear record of the death of the gods. Except for the completely extinct god system, he did not know much about other gods.
However, he still had some basic common sense. As the most important existence known as the god of immortality, the gods had the power to control the life and death of others. Naturally, they also had the power of life that surpassed the ordinary gods.
Unless they encountered the Twilight of the Gods.
Wait a minute.
After the end of the Era of the Gods, the end of the Dark Age, wasn't that the Twilight of the Gods?
Looking at the enlightened expression on Chown's face, Grindward nodded in agreement.
He was not wrong. This child did indeed have spiritual power that surpassed ordinary people, and his comprehension was also outstanding. At least he could understand something.
As for how much he could think, it was not something that Grindelwald could control.
He was now waiting for Jon to give a result, and then he would correct it according to the result given by Jon.
