Скачать или смотреть Part:9, Who Were the First Humans in Greek Mythology? | Prometheus,Pandora & the Ages of Man

In ancient Greek mythology, the origin of humanity is not explained through a single creation story, but through a complex series of divine experiments, punishments, and moral ages.


In this deep-dive documentary, we explore how Prometheus shaped the first humans from clay, why Zeus punished humanity, and how Pandora introduced suffering - and hope — into the world.



We also examine the famous Ages of Mankind described by Hesiod:
• The Golden Age
• The Silver Age
• The Bronze Age
• The Age of Heroes
• The Iron Age (our present age)


Rather than focusing on a single "first man," Greek mythology presents humanity as a moral experiment - rising, falling, and repeating across time.


This episode is part of the playlist "The Origins of Humanity: Myths, Faith & Science", where we explore how different civilizations understood the beginning of human existence - neutrally, academically, and without religious bias.
