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.

Zeus and Poseidon had been rivals for the hand of Thetis until Prometheus, the fore-thinker, warned Zeus of a prophecy that Thetis would bear a son greater than his father.

In one Greek myth, Prometheus stole fire from the gods to protect the otherwise helpless humans, but was punished for this charity.

The story of Prometheus ' sacrifice-trick in Hesiod's Theogony relates how Prometheus tricked Zeus into choosing the bones and fat of the first sacrificial animal rather than the meat to justify why, after a sacrifice, the Greeks offered the bones wrapped in fat to the gods while keeping the meat for themselves.

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.

* Prometheus ( the film includes " The Derelict " spacecraft and the " Space Jockey " designs from the first Alien film, as well as original extraterrestrial murals created exclusively for the new movie.

Hesiod's Theogony and Aeschylus ' Prometheus Unbound both tell that Heracles shot and killed the eagle that tortured Prometheus ( which was his punishment by Zeus for stealing fire from the gods and giving it to mortals ).

Severn also painted such works as Cordelia Watching by the Bed of Lear, Shepherds in the Campagna, Shelley Composing Prometheus Unbound, Isabella and the Pot of Basil, Portia with the Casket, Ariel, Rienzi, The Infant of the Apocalypse Saved from the Dragon, a large altarpiece for the church of San Paolo fuori le Mura at Rome, and many portraits of statesman and aristocrats, including Baron Bunsen and William Gladstone.

When Prometheus decides to steal the secret of fire from the gods, Zeus becomes infuriated and decides to punish humankind with an " evil thing for their delight " — Pandora, the first woman, who carried a jar ( usually described — incorrectly — as a box ) she was told to never open.

In the Western classical tradition, Prometheus became a figure who represented human striving, particularly the quest for scientific knowledge, and the risk of overreaching or unintended consequences.

In particular, he was regarded in the Romantic era as embodying the lone genius whose efforts to improve human existence could also result in tragedy: Mary Shelley, for instance, gave The Modern Prometheus as the subtitle to her novel Frankenstein ( 1818 ).

Had Prometheus not provoked Zeus's wrath ( 44 – 47 ), " you would easily do work enough in a day to supply you for a full year even without working ; soon would you put away your rudder over the smoke, and the fields worked by ox and sturdy mule would run to waste.

Angelo Casanova, Professor of Greek Literature at the University of Florence, finds in Prometheus a reflection of an ancient, pre-Hesiodic trickster-figure, who served to account for the mixture of good and bad in human life, and whose fashioning of men from clay was an Eastern motif familiar in Enuma Elish ; as an opponent of Zeus he was an analogue of the Titans, and like them was punished.

Before his theft of fire, Prometheus played a decisive role in the Titanomachy, securing victory for Zeus and the other Olympians.

In Hesiod, the story of Prometheus ( and, by extension, of Pandora ) serves to reinforce the theodicy of Zeus: he is a wise and just ruler of the universe, while Prometheus is to blame for humanity's unenviable existence.
