| | Prometheus (whose name means 'foresight') possessed prophetic knowledge of the person who would one day overthrow Zeus, but refused to divulge this knowledge. | | | The play is based on the myth of Prometheus, a titan who gave the gift of fire to mortals and was punished by the god Zeus for this. | | | He contrasts his own concern and sacrifice for the race of mortal men with Zeus's desire to destroy them. |

| | Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to mortals, carrying it away from Mount Olympus in a fennel stalk (a method of transporting fire that was used down into historical times). | | | As a consequence, Zeus chained Prometheus to a rock where each day an eagle pecked out his liver (which regenerated itself each night). |

| | In Greek mythology, Prometheus, or Prometheas ("forethought") is the Titan who stole fire from the gods and brought it to mortals for their use. | | | The god Loki in Norse mythology shares several aspects with Prometheus: disobedient, a giant rather than a god, he was closely associated with fire (a fire god), and he was punished by being chained to a rock and tormented by an animal (but in Loki's case a viper dropped venom on his face). | | | The motif is believed, by some, to have been borrowed from the Nart sagas of the Caucasian peoples, but the analogies with Loki seem to reveal an older Indo-European source. |
