Why use Prometheus as a business name?
We could have chosen any name but being history buffs and wanting a unique name we chose Prometheus
Prometheus (Greek: Προμηθεύς) is a Titan, culture hero, and trickster figure who, in Greek mythology, is credited with the creation of man from clay(pretty cool)
and the theft of fire-from the gods-for human use(thanks!), an act that enabled
progress and civilization.
He is known for his intelligence(Kinda like us), and as a champion of humanity(or technology).
The punishment of Prometheus as a consequence of the theft is a major theme of his mythology, and is a popular subject of both ancient and modern art.
Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, sentenced the Titan to eternal torment for his transgression.
The immortal Prometheus was bound to a rock, where each day an eagle, the emblem of Zeus, was sent to feed on his liver,
only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day. In some stories, Prometheus is freed at last by the hero Heracles (Hercules).
He was a focus of religious activity mainly at Athens, where he was linked to Athena and Hephaestus, other Greek deities of
creative skills and technology (kinda what we do..).
In the Western classical tradition, Prometheus became a figure who represented
human striving, particularly the quest for scientific
knowledge. In particular, he was regarded in the Romantic era as
embodying the lone genius strove to improve human existence.
