Why is the figure of Prometheus so important and symbolic in the history of culture? What do the Prometheus of Hesiod and Plato have in common with the recreations of Goethe and Fritz Lang, with the Frankenstein of Mary Shelley or the Prometheus of Ridley Scott? The poetic and hermeneutic potency of the Prometheus myth does not allow for discussion, since it is related to several key aspects such as the idea of progress and the appearance of the first woman or of religion, in mythical stories susceptible of many interpretations. The very origin of humanity and its idiosyncrasies are due to this famous philanthropist titan, which has remained in the collective memory and has developed as a philosophical, political or scientific ideal.
