The Lighthouse|Prometheus, Gustave Moreau
"In Aeschylus' tragedy Prometheus Chained, the motif of fire stealing is joined to the motif of fire stealing by the portrayal of Prometheus as the discoverer of all the cultural benefits that made the achievements of human civilization possible: he taught people to build dwellings and extract metals, to cultivate the earth and sail ships, taught them to write, count, observe the stars, etc. Executed for his love of people, Aeschylus' Prometheus defies Zeus and is ready to defend his righteousness despite the terrible agony."
