Presentation transcript:

Prometheus In Greek mythology, Prometheus was a demigod known for his cunning. Having been tricked by Prometheus, Zeus withheld fire from mankind. In response, Prometheus went to Mount Olympus and stole some fire, which he gave to man. Zeus punished him by chaining him to a rock; each day an eagle came and ate out his liver, which grew back each night. He was eventually rescued by Hercules.

Meaning Prometheus represents valiant resistance to authority or rebellion against the established order of the universe. The adjective “Promethean” refers to an act of such resistance.

Examples In one of his novels, Thomas Hardy calls lighting a fire in winter a Promethean act, in which man tries to rebel against the approaching cold. The subtitle of Frankenstein is “The Modern Prometheus” because Victor Frankenstein dares to overstep the bounds of nature and create life.
