The Story of
Promentheus
James Baldwin
In those old, old times, there lived two brothers who were not like other
men, nor yet like those Mighty Ones who lived upon the mountain top. They
were the sons of one of those Titans who had fought against Jupiter and been
sent in chains to the strong prison-house of the Lower World. Prometheus did
not care to live amid the clouds on the mountain top. While the Mighty Folk
were spending their time in idleness, drinking nectar and eating ambrosia, he
was intent upon plans for making the world wiser and better than it had ever
been before.
« Without fire, they are worse off than the beasts». Then he went boldly to
Jupiter and begged him to give fire to men, that so they might have a little
comfort through the long, dreary months of winter. «Not a spark will I give,»
said Jupiter. « Let them shiver with cold, and let them live like the beasts.
It is best for them to be poor and ignorant, that so we Mighty Ones may thrive and
be happy». «Mankind shall have fire in spite of the tyrant who sits on the mountain
top,» he said. He reached the place of the sun in the early morning just as the
glowing, golden orb was rising from the earth and beginning his daily journey
through the sky. Soon there was a cheerful blaze in every rude home in the
land, and men and women gathered round it and were warm and happy, and
thankful to Prometheus for the wonderful gift which he had brought to them from
the sun.
It was not long until they learned to cook their food and so to eat like men instead
of like beasts. After that, Prometheus taught them, little by little, a thousand
things. He showed them how to build houses of wood and stone, and how to tame
sheep and cattle and make them useful, and how to plow and sow and reap, and
how to protect themselves from the storms of winter and the beasts of the woods.
Things might have gone on very happily indeed, and the Golden Age might really
have come again, had it not been for Jupiter.

Pack the Essentials:
1. Misleading Headlines - There are many cases where the news story may not be
false, but the headline is written in such a way that it gives a different impression
on the audience.
2. Sloppy Journalism - There are cases where a reporter or journalist would
provide wrong or unreliable information in a news story without doing thorough
fact-checking.
3. Propaganda - Some news stories are reported to influence the audience to
adopt a certain view or perspective toward an issue or person.
4. Clickbait - Particularly true on social media, clickbait stories lure people into
accessing an article or video because they create intrigue.
5. Satire/Parody - In some cases, news is really intentionally fake, but this is
done for entertainment purposes. Satire and parody stones may come across as
ridiculous and even nonsensical.
6. False Stories - These are stories that are 100% false. For instance, a website
reports the death of a celebrity when he or she is in fact very much alive.
Here are some practical guidelines that need to be observed in order not to be
deceived by fake news:
• Comnire news reports with other sources.
• Know which sources are reliable and which are unreliable
• Read/watch listen to the news report before deciding to react and/or share.
• Get the bigger picture or context.
• Practice fact-checking.
• Be skeptical and vigilant.
