Prometheus, IO, and Europa: Earth's Earliest Heroes

The Earth has had many heroes throughout its history, however the earliest ones are these. Prometheus and IO are the first heros. You see Io is a woman that Zeus made a cow to avoid his wife finding of his affair. Hera being smart, realized what the cow really was and asked for it as a gift. She plagued her constantly until she met Prometheus. As you remember he gave man fire and as such he was chained. He saw into the future and saw Io being made human and birthing a son who would free him. Her son was Hercules. Next came Europa whom Europe is for. She was charmed by Zeus disguised as a bull she climbs on the bull then gets run across the ocean where Hera cannot see, and is seduced by Zeus. She births two of the dead's judges

Minos and Rhadamanthus. Moving to Polyphemus the cyclops, he as the case with other cyclops was not banished after the war. He .is famous for his encounter with Odysseus as he was tricked into thinking Odysseus was called nobody so that him and his men could escape as the other Cyclops didn't realize he meant that a man named nobody hurt him but thought that nobody hurt in the literal meaning. Lastly, Flower-Myths Narcissus, Hyacinth, and Adonis. Narcissus was made by nymphs who were in love with a man named Narcissus who was cursed to fall in love with himself due to breaking so many hearts, secondly The Hyacinth was made by Apollo when he accidentally kills his friend.
