Potopul lui Noe - mit sau realitate

INTRODUCERE

„Domnul a zis lui Noe: ‚Intra in corabie, tu si toata casa ta; caci dupa sapte zile voi face sa ploaua pe pamant patruzeci de zile si patruzeci de nopti; si voi sterge astfel de pe fata pamantului toate fapturile pe care le-am facut.’ Dupa cele sapte zile, au venit apele potopului pe pamant” (Fac. 7, 1-4-10).

Prometheus in Greek Mythology

Prometheus is famous for a couple of seemingly unrelated stories: (1) the gift of fire to mankind and (2) being chained to a rock where every day an eagle came to eat his liver. There is a connection, however, and one that shows why Prometheus, the father of the Greek Noah, was called the benefactor of mankind.

Prometheus - Gift of Fire to Mankind

Zeus sent most of the Titans to Tartarus [see Hades' Realm] to punish them for fighting against him in the Titanomachy, but since second-generation Titan Prometheus had not sided with his aunts, uncles, and brother Atlas, Zeus spared him. Zeus then assigned Prometheus the task of forming man from water and earth, which Prometheus did, but in the process, became fonder of men than Zeus had anticipated.

Potopul lui Noe - la Marea Neagră

Legenda unui potop trimis de Dumnezeu sau de zei pentru a distruge o civilizaţie, ca un act de pedeapsă divină, este o temă care se regăseşte în miturile multor popoare.

Potopul apare de la sumerieni, în Epopeea lui Ghilgameş, până la egipteni (când lumea era inundată de Nun, zeul Nilului), de la Deucalion (atunci când Zeus și Poseidon au trimis potopul asupra lumii) până în Biblie.
