Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Myrtle Baldwin When Prometheus was ordained by Zeus to make the creature Man, he fashioned the human ear like a shell that it might gather and augment all sounds. Then to protect his new creation from the siren voice of flattery he called upon Arachne to spin a web over the ears of man so fine that only the whisper of Truth should enter. But Hermes, spying upon these two, grew jealous, fearing that this mortal would become his rival with the Nymphs, and watching his opportunity before Consciousness came to the new creature, he tore the web away from one ear so that falsehood might enter the brain of Man. "Glory be," he said in derision as he stole away, "now these mortals shall always hear and believe the thing that is not, for the loud blasts of falsehood entering one ear will overcome the low whisper of Truth in the other for all time." When Man assumed life and Arachne saw what the boy, Hermes, had done, she was angry and wept. "Do not grieve, my daughter," said Zeus, who foresaw all things, "for while Truth will benefit Man if heard, he will not relish it at all. Rather will he enjoy falsehood a thousand times more, and die content in his delusions." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
