After some brief research I have chosen a few topics which I would be interested in discussing.
They are:
- How Prometheus is represented in various works such as Hesiod's Theogony and Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound.
- What did the Greeks think of him?
- Did he deserve his punishment?
- Prometheus' gift to mortals
- Gift of fire and the Olympic torch
- Prometheus' influence of humanity
- Prometheus the Trickster
- Claim to be the greatest god
- Ironic? Is he not a 'champion for man'?
- Titans compared to the Olympian gods
- What it meant to the Greeks
- Why are Titans not worshipped like the Olympian gods?
- Olympian or Chthonian?
- Religion or myth?
- Prometheus' family
- Parents
- Brothers (Atlas)
- Son(s)
- Prometheus, Epimetheus and Pandora
- Punishment of the Titans
- Comparison with the Christian religion
- Fire compared with the Tree of Life and Death in the Garden of Eden
- Depiction in art/literature/movies
- Doesn't appear in physical evidence often
- Why didn't the Greeks worship him over the Olympians? Was it out of fear?
