Only seven of his estimated seventy to ninety plays have survived into modern times, and there is a longstanding debate about his authorship of one of these plays, Prometheus Bound.

The name comes from Greek Bosporos ( Βόσπορος ), which the ancient Greeks analysed as bous ' ox ' + poros ' means of passing a river, ford, ferry ', thus meaning ' ox-ford ', which is a reference to Io ( mythology ) from Greek mythology who was transformed into a cow and condemned to wander the earth until she crossed the Bosphorus where she met Prometheus.

Gnosticism attributed falsehood, fallen or evil, to the concept of Demiurge or Creator ( see Zeus and Prometheus ), though sometimes the creator is from a fallen, ignorant or lesser, rather than evil, perspective ( in some Gnosticism traditions ), such as that of Valentinius.

Epimetheus ( the brother of Prometheus ) is overwhelmed by her beauty, disregards Prometheus ' warnings about her, and marries her.

In the Prometheus mythos of Hesiodus and possibly Aeschylus ( the Greek mythos | Greek trilogy Prometheus Bound, Prometheus Unbound ( Aeschylus ) | Prometheus Unbound and Prometheus Pyrphoros ), Prometheus is bound and tortured for giving fire to humanity at its creation.

His prose works on various subjects – Prometheus, dialogues like Symposium ( a banquet at which Virgil, Horace and Messalla were present ), De cultu suo ( on his manner of life ) and a poem In Octaviam (" Against Octavia ") of which the content is unclear-were ridiculed by Augustus, Seneca and Quintilian for their strange style, the use of rare words and awkward transpositions.

Prometheus () is a Titan, culture hero, and trickster figure who in Greek mythology is credited with the creation of man from clay and the theft of fire for human use, an act that enabled progress and civilization.

The punishment of Prometheus as a consequence of the theft is a major theme of his mythology, and is a popular subject of both ancient and modern art.

In some stories, Prometheus is freed at last by the hero Heracles ( Hercules ).

Evidence of a cult to Prometheus himself is not widespread.

Prometheus, in eternal punishment, is chained to a rock in the Caucasus, where his liver is eaten daily by an eagle, only to be regenerated by night, due to his immortality.

Prometheus Bound, perhaps the most famous treatment of the myth to be found among the Greek tragedies, is traditionally attributed to the 5th-century BC Greek tragedian Aeschylus.

At the center of the drama are the results of Prometheus ' theft of fire and his current punishment by Zeus ; the playwright's dependence on the Hesiodic source material is clear, though Prometheus Bound also includes a number of changes to the received tradition.

An unusual, if not extraordinary, rendering of the classic myth that involves the rescue of Prometheus from the rock by the U.S. Cavalry was given last week in the warehouse of the Albany Leather Conduit Company amid cheers of `` Hubba hubba '' and `` Yalagaloo pip pip ''!!

When John Beck sold the King Kong vs. Prometheus script to Toho ( which became King Kong vs. Godzilla ), he was given exclusive rights to produce a version of the film for release in non-Asian territories.

After humans received the stolen gift of fire from Prometheus, an angry Zeus decides to give men a punishing gift to compensate for the boon they had been given.

Prometheus was punished for his audacity by Zeus for having given fire to man, not just in its physical form, but also in the fire of reason, which can be related to man's creativity in arts and sciences.

It was given the nickname Prometheus, after the mythological figure who stole fire from the gods and gave it to man.

The finale of the symphony shows a similar range, and is given an importance in the overall scheme which was virtually unheard of previously — whereas in earlier symphonies, the finale was a quick and breezy finishing off, here it is a lengthy set of variations and fugue on a theme Beethoven had originally written for his ballet music The Creatures of Prometheus.

In the first issue he appears in what seems to be a time distortion, asking Anthro, the " first " boy on Earth, for the weapon the New God Metron gave him, a reference to the series ' opening scene in which Anthro, like Prometheus, is given knowledge in the form of fire.

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.

Asia declares that Demogorgon's answer is the same as that her own heart had given her, and then asks when Prometheus will be freed.

They are also known to have given practical and spiritual knowledge to people ( including knowledge of the use of fire ) and thus play a role similar to that of Prometheus in Greek mythology.

An award for libertarian science fiction, the Prometheus Award, is given out every year.

* In Childe Harold's Pilgrimage ( 1812 – 18 ), Byron describes how the statue requites humanity's debt to Prometheus: " And if it be Prometheus stole from Heaven / The fire which we endure, it was repaid / By him to whom the energy was given / Which this poetic marble hath array'd / With an eternal glory -- which, if made / By human hands, is not of human thought ; / And Time himself hath hallowed it, nor laid / One ringlet in the dust -- nor hath it caught / A tinge of years, but breathes the flame with which ' twas wrought.
