Answer:Lesson no. 1: The Fickle Finger of Fate!

Do you ever feel like that whatever you do, fate just seems to work against you? Or sometimes everything seems to happen from a reason? Well pals, the Ancient Greeks had a tale or two to explain this. According to myth, the gods of Fate and Destiny spin the thread of life that you walk. Referred to as the “Moirai”, these 3 sister goddesses have already sewn the path of your life, so stop stressing about the things you can’t control, live in the moment and go on a holiday! The seemingly random nature of life is further represented in the form of the blind god Pluto, who distributes wealth randomly. But, this wealth comes with a cost…happiness.

Lesson no. 2: Bad = Bad and Good = Good

Punishment is explained in the myths, with as much gore and detail as a battle scene from Game of Thrones! The Ancient Greek version of “Thou Shalt Not Steal” starts with the example of the trickster Prometheus. Prometheus, known for his intelligence and as the author of the human arts and sciences, also gifted mortals with fire after stealing it from the gods. When Zeus found out that Prometheus had done this, he chained him to a rock for eternity. Every day his liver would be eaten by an eagle, only to be regenerated by night, due to his immortality. Years later, the Greek hero Hercules slew the eagle and freed Prometheus from his torment. What can you learn from this example? Ah duh, don’t steal otherwise an eagle will eat your liver! Also, you aren’t immortal and your liver will not return back to normal overnight after doing multiple shots at Slammer Bar in Ios!
