Mythological philosophy

This contradiction is evident and it is very easy laugh, but we can laugh about a philosophy whose name is Empedocles(484 b.Ch-424 b.Ch.)? Answer: “Certainly, why not?”, I think that certainly he can took his theory about birth of mankind through mingling of four elements, fire, water, earth and air, these elements are fundamental to birth of mankind, but the very fragmentary his composition about nature, we can read alone it because we it keep today; milting, as said up the fusion, determines birth of men, but this theory is solely of Empedocles, no! Who else has said this bullshit? The mythology; because the history of Deucalion and Pyrrha, son and daughter of Prometheus and Epimetheus, were married and after that mankind has showed his ingratitude, Zeus, king of goods, has  flooded the word and destroyed mankind, alone survived are Deucalion and Pyrrha that have peopled the word with bones of earth, this is stones; in fact they strike stones to back and born men and woman, to stones stroke by Pyrrha, this mythological history is fantasy but we can think that this myth has suggested the birth of man, we must consider that Empedocles said about four elements that has shipped mankind, and one is earth, and Deucalion and Pyrrha took the bones of earth, this is stones, that isn’t one element of Empedocles but the stones are on and in earth, and it is one of elements of Empedocles, other element is water; because Zeus has flooded the word, and usually it is befalls through water, and Deucalion is son of Prometheus that given to mankind the fire, and Empedocles has thought that nothing birth and nothing die, and the nothing change, but always same, these are some thought about goods, that has born but no die as man; thereby three of four elements of Empedocles are mythological references, it is a translation of mythological knowledge and explication, very ennobled with name of philosophy, but it is always mythology.
