What is the meaning behind your blog name? Prometheus, a titan, created humanity and gifted them with knowledge, often to Zeus’s disdain. He then stole fire from the Gods of Olympia and gave it to the humans, gifting them with knowledge and making the Gods very very jealous indeed. This angered Zeus to the point that he condemned Prometheus to be chained to a rock forevermore, to have his liver pecked out by a giant eagle repeatedly.
