Prometheus and his son Deucalion ^_^ lets keep mankind alive with papa

similar to how Prometheus has beauty marks in the form of Sagitta constellation, Deucalions beauty marks are in the form of the Aquarius constellation (relevance to the great flood)

What’s funny about the modern interpretation that Medusa protects victims and takes them in is that Io, who was a victim, was advised by Prometheus to stay away from the gorgons bc they might kill her but was also told she can trust the Amazons to protect and guide her through part of her journey.

Prometheus Bound (based on a work by John Flaxman).

Prometheus is shown in the center with Kratos and Bia. And Hephaestus behind him chaining him to the mountainside.

Reading Prometheus Bound and wondering when we decided that questioning the gods and depicting them behaving like tyrants in certain contexts would be disrespectful to the ancient Greeks, since they... also did it.
