Prometheus and Pandora
The creator of mortals, but only of men it is said...
Instigator through portals, of many flames blue to red.
Punished by Zeus, his liver a feast for the birds,
Left alone and not heard, but actions are louder than words.
The epitome of honour, eternal pain to help men
Out of the fire came knowledge, progress, and then ..
Pandora opened a jar, out flew much evil and sin
From then women were shamed, the men would win.
The myth's still alive, like the gods - they don't die
Through mortals who saught to, report this and thrive
Prometheus was rescued, from the birds and the pain,
Pandora's confused: is it right that she feels ashamed?
Last few words:
I love Greek myth and decided to start writing about it.

A nice...
place to start. You have some good lines. I like Greek history and myths too. How about a conversation between two gods/goddesses? Or one between slave and master? Maybe the subject of freedom? Make up your own Greek history. ~ Geez.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.
