Prometheus stole fire from Zeus, the king of Olympian Gods, to give it to mankind. Enraged Zeus ordered Prometheus to be bound to a desolate rock and attacked by an eagle. Prometheus was punished for his love of mortals. The painting, Prometheus Bound, on the cigar band portrays his unwavering endurance of suffering. Prometheus is a courageous hero for mankind, and also known as God of Fire.
We would like to present the paintings and sculpture of Prometheus by eight artists. |
