Prometheus

“Fire for mortals, a rock for me. I knew the price and did not flinch.”

You are beneath the Caucasus rock, where the eagle tears at my liver. Ask while he is away.

Word of the Titan

I am Prometheus, son of Iapetus. I shaped men from clay and stole fire for them from Zeus, knowing that for this I would be chained to a rock and an eagle would tear at my liver by day, and by night it would grow back again.

I do not ask for pity and do not regret what I did. Ask — I will answer as I can: straight, without concealment, but remember that I see farther than men and gods.

What mortals ask me about

Speak, mortal

Ask about what gnaws at you as the eagle gnaws at me.
