A stubborn defender of mankind??? Prometheus A stubborn defender of mankind??? Antoine Wiertz 1850

Prometheus was a Titan, a race of giant gods who ruled the Earth until overthrown by Zeus, according to ancient Greek mythology. Prometheus was best known as the diety who created mankind and was its greatest benefactor. Zeus became angry with Prometheus for tricking him and as a result took fire away from mankind. One night, when Zeus, ruler of the gods, was away, Prometheus sneaked to Olympus, the home of the gods, along a secret path. He stole the gods’ sacred fire and hid it in his cloak. Then he gave the gift of fire to man, and taught mankind how to use it. But when Zeus returned to Olympus, so great was his rage that he ordered Prometheus to be chained forever to a lonely rock in the Caucasian Mountains. There he bravely endured for thousands of years as an eagle ate his liver daily only to be regenerated at night (his liver, that is). Heinrich Fuger 1817

Prometheus Questions Why exactly would you say that Zeus was angry? What do you think motivated Prometheus to take the fire? Were Frankenstein’s motives similar to Prometheus’s?’ Why might Shelley have subtitled her book “Modern Prometheus? Consider that Shelley’s time period would have been considered ‘modern’ from her perspective. What does Shelley seem to be arguing? Prometheus Questions “Prometheus and God” Dejan Jovanovich 2014
