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)

Prometheus Chained to the Caucasus

Artist: Jean Charles Frontier (French, 1701-1763)

Date: 1744

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Louvre Museum, Paris, France

Description

In ancient Greek mythology, the Titan Prometheus defied Zeus by stealing fire and giving it to humanity. As punishment, Zeus ordered Prometheus chained to a remote, desolate rock in the Caucasus Mountains, where an eagle would daily devour his regenerating liver.

The legend is the basis for the ancient Greek tragedy Prometheus Bound, traditionally attributed to the playwright Aeschylus.

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.

#the amazons aren’t as demonized as ppl tend to say #like I always hear ppl talk about how the amazons were treated as evil and bad #then you actually read the source material and realize *gasp* it’s so much more nuanced than that #prometheus bound #greek mythology #ancient greek mythology #medusa #Io #Prometheus #Greek monsters

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.
