Prometeo

Few stories condense as much symbolic charge as that of Prometheus, the god who steals fire, the rebel, the sculptor and creator of humans. The Promethean story has stimulated the imagination from the time of Hesiod (7th century BC) until today, when it illustrates the most utopian technological promises. Carlos García Gual writes a suggestive account of the evolution of this myth in literature, reflecting the expectations of society at all times.
