The Worlds Redemption Through Ero’s
By John Nay

I choose to write a blog about the story in the metamorphoses Deucalion & Pyrrha because it is the tale of human of redemption in an apocalyptic state. Prior to this story about these two individuals who had an absolute love for justice we learn about Zeus’s aggression toward the world and his reasoning for flooding it. Zeus’s reasoning for flooding the earth was human greed. The gods felt threatened by the mortal’s actions. Humans were coming into the Iron Age and had created a realm of selfishness and tyranny toward the rest of the living things on earth. Zeus by his all-powerful nature felt obliged to rid the beautiful earth of these fowl creatures. With good fortune the two individuals Deucalion & Pyrrha drifted to shore on the Cephisus stream and headed off to pray to the oracle Themis. The great oracle was so moved by their sincerity that she granted their wish of redemption of the human race. There love was so genuine and free of greed that the human race was allowed to endure. Through these two individuals love the world experiences a great metamorphoses. This story is very moving to me because it almost feels like the world is in for an apocalypse. Are greed is raping the earth. We have warning signs such as global warming and never ending violence. The only thing is will there be an act of extreme virtue to save us. Is the human race strong enough o put greed aside and have our own metamorphoses or are we going to be condemned to death.
