Prometheus...spreading the light........

Zeus, the chief of the Olympean gods, took fire from mankind

as a punishment for not being happy with the offerings....

and so mankind stayed in darkeness

until Prometheus, who was a titan

stole fire and the light from Zeus

and gave it back to mankind..

Here is Prometheus

strong, combative, challanging and defiant

looking at Zeus with storng, victorious looks

holding fire in his right hand,to give it to man

Here is man, lying there in the dark

tired , asleep.....

what a great story...and it is applicable to our times now....
