#also fun fact Hercules freed Prometheus

[browniefox]

Prometheus knew the consequences.

They don’t tell you that, when your English teacher makes an offhand comment about Prometheus stealing fire.

Prometheus’ name means forethought, and he had some amount of knowledge of the future.

Do you think, as he tucked the fire into the fennel stalk, even then he could feel the eagle’s beak in his stomach, devouring his liver?

Do you think he could already feel the chains as he handed fire to the humans?

Do you think he knew that, and thought it worth his sacrifice?
