Editorial Reviews
Is sometimes called a Titan, though in reality he did not belong to the Titans, but was only a son of the Titan Iapetus, by Clymene, so that he was a brother of Atlas, Menoetius, and Epimetheus His name signifies "forethought," as that of his brother Epimetheus denotes "afterthought." Others call Prometheus a son of Themis, or of Uranus and Clymene, or of the Titan Eurymedon and Hera. By Pandora, Hesione, or Axiothea, he is said to have been the father of Deucalion, by Pyrrha or Clymene he begot Hellen, and by Celaeno he was the father of Lycus and Chimaereus, while Herodotus calls his wife Asia.
The following is an outline of the legends related of him by the ancients. Once in the reign of Zeus, when gods and men were disputing with one another at Mecone, Prometheus, with a view to deceive Zeus and rival him in prudence, cut up a bull and divided it into two parts : he wrapped up the best parts and the intestines in the skin, and at the top he placed the stomach, which is one of the worst parts, while the second heap consisted of the bones covered with fat.
