“How was life born on earth?”
This is a popular but yet to be answered questions, that is my theme for this blog today. Many theories are out there, including scientific and religious, but none of them are proven right neither wrong. But people continue discussing about it and believing it. Today I would like to compare the two interpretation of Metamorphosis written by Ovid that explains the origin of Earth, one by Mary Zimmerman and the other by Mary M. Innes and Frank Justus Miller.
First of all, Zimmerman writes in the form of a play. She wrote two possible ways to explain the origin of life. One that says, at the beginning there was only one whole thing, and it began to separate, creating the world we know now. The other one goes the opposite way. It says that the world started as blank and things began to just pop out. Either way, Zimmerman explains it through a conversation with many people, including a scientist. On the other hand, the one translated by Mary M. and Frank J., sounded more religious and absolute.
