Why the Prometheus Project?
In the history of Greek Gods, Titans, and the creation of mortals, Prometheus was the wisest Titan of all. His name means “forethought” and he was able to foretell the future. Prometheus is credited with bringing enlightenment to humans. Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humankind, bringing the power of warmth and light to the dark and miserable earth. Prometheus acted against the express wishes of the Olympian Gods, who wanted to keep the power of fire – enlightenment – for their exclusive use.
