Prometheus fire xéêèDãgqáèëz – (миф.) Прометеев огонь; божественный огонь в душе человека In Greek mythology, Prometheus was the creator of mankind. The goddess Athene taught him architecture, astronomy, mathematics, navigation, medicine, and metallurgy, and he in turn taught them to humans. Zeus, the chief of the Greek gods, became angry at Prometheus for making people powerful by teaching them all these useful skills. To punish Prometheus, Zeus withheld fire from men. “Let them eat their flesh raw,” he declared. In response, Prometheus, snuck up to Mount Olympus, lit a torch from the sun, and hid a burning piece of charcoal in a hollow stalk. He slipped away with it and thus delivered fire to mankind. This further enraged Zeus, who had Prometheus chained naked to a pillar in the Caucasian mountains, where his liver is eaten daily by an eagle. Years later, the Greek hero Heracles (Hercules) slays the eagle and frees Prometheus from his chains. The myth is one of the deepest significance, reflecting an old belief that the world was made for man and not man for the world. Prometheus is properly the incarnation of the divine fire latent from the beginning in the soul of man.
