¨PROMETHEUS¨

Prometheus was the son of Iapetos and Klymene (Clymene). His name means Forethought.He was nweither a god nor a man.He had fought for Zeus against Kronos.But he had no true respect for Zeus.Zeus in his wrath denied men the secret of fire. Prometheus felt sorry for his creations, and watched as they shivered in the cold and winter's nights. He decided to give his most loved creation a great gift that was a "good servant and bad master". He took fire from the hearth of the gods by stealth and brought it to men in a hollow wand of fennel, or ferule that served him instead of a staff. he brought down the fire coal and gave it to man. he then showed them how to cook and stay warm.He was a great lover of mankind and began the era of enlightment.

And to this day the term Promethean refers to people of great creativity,intellect and boldness.We civilians are his army representing his ideals and spreading light to people around.
