| | Prometheus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Prometheus was suspicious and would have nothing to do with Pandora, claiming that she was foolish (lacking foresight), and she was sent on to Epimetheus, who married her. | | | Like Prometheus, Loki is a giant rather than a god, is associated with fire, and is punished by being chained to a rock and tormented by an animal (a viper dripping venom on him). | | | To punish Prometheus for this hubris (and all of mankind in the process), Zeus took fire away from the earth. |

| | Prometheus acts, in part, as the spirit of love, hating, ipso facto, the spirit of hate, and ruthlessly pursuing it to its doom; in part, as the sublime Christ-like sufferer, who wishes “no living thing to suffer pain,” and will not curse even his persecutor. | | | A Prometheus who should symbolise humanity thus conceived necessarily triumphed; there was even danger lest his adversary’s overthrow—at bottom, a fight with a figment—should appear too certain and too easy. | | | Jupiter speaks in lovely images of stars and sun, as if he, too, were a lover of Asia, the lamp of earth; the fury, in the very act of tormenting Prometheus, speaks as one who herself suffers what she inflicts. |

| | Prometheus was one of the Titans, the original race of gods sprung from earth and sky. | | | Kersey Graves states that "Caucasians chanted praises to their slain Divine Intercessor, Prometheus, for voluntarily offering himself upon the cross for the sins of a fallen race", and that at his death, the whole world was engulfed in darkness. | | | Aristophanes lampoons the gods in The Birds, with Prometheus coming in disguised to announce that the birds's city is intercepting the smoke from the sacrifices and the gods are getting hungry. |

| | Literary Encyclopedia: Prometheus Unbound |
| | Prometheus is able to revoke his curse because he, eventually, understands that the ability to dominate others stems from a selfishness, which makes Jupiter the tyrant blind to his own limitations and unable to reciprocate feelings with another fellow being. | | | Prometheus, an immortal Titan, desperately struggles to recall the precise formulation of the curse he uttered against Jupiter only to learn that these words must be spoken by a shade, ghost, or phantom of the dead to avoid suffering further at Jupiter’s hands. | | | The curse binds Prometheus and Jupiter, inextricably, together, as the readiness with which Jupiter’s phantasm can recall Prometheus’s words implies that, at the original moment of the curse, Prometheus’s psychological nature was akin to Jupiter’s despotic own. |

| | Prometheus was able to lift himself up through imagination, and Percy is saying that mankind should follow his lead. | | | Prometheus was too wilful, and only by allowing imagination into his life was he able to remedy the situation. | | | Shelley is indicating that once Prometheus gave man the power of speech and thought this gave way to imagination; which created Science and lead to the betterment of mankind. |

| | Prometheus Unbound |
| | Prometheus went to heaven and stole the fire and brought it back to humanity, and in punishment for this Jupiter chained him to a rock and sent an eagle to eat out his liver every day. | | | We learn that before the play opens, Prometheus cursed Jupiter, that in response (and at Prometheus’ invitation, really) Jupiter has been punishing humanity, and that Prometheus has subsequently forgotten his curse. | | | In this act Shelley is trying to imagine a way of living or being that is radically different from the tyranny / rebellion model into which Jupiter and Prometheus had been locked (it’s the same basic model that Blake describes in his Orc cycle). |

| | Quillin - "'An assiduous frequenter of the Italian opera': Shelley’s Prometheus Unbound and the opera ... |
| | Although Prometheus is the hero of suffering and strength for the Romantics, Shelley’s addition of the anti-hero Jupiter to the equation of the drama makes a sharply skeptical warning of its own. | | | Whereas the Furies’ verse maintains a regular rhyme scheme and forms a coherent antiphonal structure of response and chorus, the mocking tone of their words moves their chorus away from the emotiveness of aria into the narrative realm of fiction that in the opera buffa is largely the domain of recitative. | | | Once he realizes that mercy is impossible, Jupiter, like Prometheus, is ultimately noble, resolving himself to his fate, even as he is slowly swallowed up by flame and smoke. |

| | What means of liberation suggest themselves in Aeschylus' fragment of a trilogy, and what are we to infer from Shelley's realization of Prometheus' freedom?” Glorifying Prometheus' defiance does little justice to either poet—Shelley and Aeschylus both suggest that much of the change to be wrought must come from Prometheus himself. | | | Shelley's Prometheus Unbound and Aeschylus, by Alfred J. Drake, Ph.D. Copyright © 2004 Alfred J. Drake, Ph.D. Home | | | In this regard, Shelley's drama doubles back upon its grandest claims for the reintegration of psyche and Cosmos, engaging in an Aeschylan meditation on the complexities of the relationship between imagination and act, words and the world. |

| | But Prometheus is, as it were, the type of the highest perfection of moral and intellectual nature impelled by the purest and the truest motives to the best and noblest ends. | | | The moral interest of the fable, which is so powerfully sustained by the sufferings and endurance of Prometheus, would be annihilated if we could conceive of him as unsaying his high language and quailing before his successful and perfidious adversary. | | | Thetis, according to this view of the subject, was given in marriage to Peleus, and Prometheus, by the permission of Jupiter, delivered from his captivity by Hercules. |
