Asia or Clymene in Greek mythology was a daughter of Oceanus and Tethys mythology Tethys , the wife of the Titan mythology Titan Iapetus mythology Iapetus , and mother of Atlas mythology Atlas , Prometheus , Epimetheus mythology Epimetheus and Menoetius mythology Menoetius . Hesiod gives the name as Clymene in his Theogony 359 but Apollodorus 1.8 gives instead the name Asia as does Lycophron 1411 . It is possible that the name Asia became preferred over Hesiod s Clymene to avoid confusion with what must be a different Oceanid named Clymene who was mother of Phaethon by Helios in some accounts. Herodotus 4.45.1 records the tradition that the continent Asia was named after Asia whom he calls wife of Prometheus rather than mother of Prometheus, perhaps here a simple error rather than genuine variant tradition. Both Acusilaus and Aeschylus in his Prometheus Bound call Prometheus wife Hesione . Herodotus relates also the Lydian tradition ref Histories Herodotus http old.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?doc Perseus text 1999.01.0126&layout &loc 4.45 4.45.1 ref yet the Lydia ns claim a share in the latter name, saying that Asia was not named after Prometheus wife Asia, but after Asies , the son of Cotys mythology Cotys , who was the son of Manes , and that from him the Asiad clan at Sardis also takes its name .

It summarises ideas and conclusions of the Special Asian Synod held in Rome from April 18 to May 14, 1998. It was officially promulgated by Pope John Paul II in New Delhi , India on November 6, 1999 . The document stated that just as in the first millennium the Cross was planted on the soil of Europe , and in the second on that of the Americas and Africa , we can pray that in the Third Christian Millennium a great harvest of faith will be reaped in this vast and vital continent of Asia EA 1 JP II 1999 359 .

The long document concludes as The peoples of Asia need Jesus Christ and his Gospel . Asia is thirsting for the Living water that Jesus alone can give cf. Jn 4 10 15 .

Constitutional monarchy Constitutional monarchies , absolute monarchy absolute monarchies , one party state s, federal state s, dependent territory dependent territories , liberal democracy liberal democracies and military dictatorship s are all factors in the region, as well as various forms of independence movements. Civilization has a long history throughout Asia and it probably involved politics right from the start although some of the earliest discernible political structures arose in Mesopotamia with the advent of writing offering details of these politics. A large and well organized civil service the like of which arose in China is also a necessary adjunct to politics. Much of the political climate in Asia today is affected by colonialism and imperialism in Asia imperialism of the past with some states retaining close links with their former colonial governors while others involved in bitter independence struggles the consequences of which continue to be felt. The situation today is still mixed, with hostilities in parts of Asia such as the continuing tensions over Kashmir , primarily between India and Pakistan , as well as economic competetiveness between the People s Republic of China and India.
