The myth of Prometheus - Iseult Gillespie

Dig into the myth of Prometheus, a Titan who defied Zeus to give fire to humanity — and was punished for eternity.

--

Before the creation of humanity, the Greek gods won a great battle against a race of giants called the Titans. Most Titans were destroyed or driven to the eternal hell of Tartarus. But the Titan Prometheus, whose name means foresight, persuaded his brother Epimetheus to fight with him on the side of the Gods. Iseult Gillespie shares the myth of Prometheus.
