Origin: Titan Iapetus + nymph Asia’s kid.
Creation Hack: Sculpted humans from mud + wind → skipped baby phase. Athena literally breathed life into his clay dolls. Basically: Divine Pinocchio.
The Ultimate Troll Move (Mecone Feast):
Offered Zeus two "gifts":
→ Option A: Beef hidden in gross ox stomach (actual food).
→ Option B: Bones wrapped in shiny fat (useless bling).Zeus picked B. Got played. Cue godly tantrum.
Fire Heist: Stole flames in a fennel stalk → rebooted human progress.
Punishment Package:
Zeus yeeted Pandora (first woman) at mankind.
Prometheus chained to a rock. Daily eagle liver snack (regenerating nightly). Eternal all-you-can-eat buffet.
Hindu Legend: Ganesha
Origin: Parvati’s DIY project. Made him from sweat, scruff, and turmeric paste → instant life. Basically: Scrub Pinocchio.
The Ultimate Temple Troll (Srirangam Saga):
Demon Vibhishana flying home with Vishnu’s idol (never to set down).
Stopped to bathe in the Cauvery River.
Ganesha (disguised as a cowherd) offered to hold it… immediately placed it on ground. Boom—Srirangam temple born. (Repeat offender: did same to Ravana in Gokarna!).
Punishment Package:
Vibhishana smacked his forehead → no reversal spell.
Eternal upgrades: Elephant head, one tusk, pot belly, virgin bachelor status.
Moral of the Story
"Gods: petty, creative, and terrifyingly consistent."
Greek solution to anger? Send Pandora. Because women.
Hindu solution to mischief? Make you elephant-adjacent and eternally single.
“I have the body of a god… sadly, it’s Ganesha.”
Movie Prometheus features Engineers who look eerily similar to Lord Ganesha.
The proboscis isn’t literal, but the silhouette is identical. Both are "architects of life" punished for their gifts (Engineers wiped out, Ganesha cursed).When the Engineer decapitates David → mirrors Ganesha losing his head before Shiva replaces it.
Ganesha Trait :
Elephant head, curved trunk and pot belly and divine creator, Broken tusk
What are the parallels that are reflected in Engineer echo ?
Oversized helmet, tubular breathing apparatus, broad, barrel-chested torso, Genetic engineer of humanity and Mask's segmented mouth
