Read the excerpt from "Prometheus Unbound” by Percy Bysshe Shelley.[Prometheus.]If then my words had power,Though I am changed so that aught* evil wishIs dead within; although no memory beOf what is hate, let them not lose it now!What was that curse? for ye all heard me speak.***any**Jupiter has chained Prometheus to the face of a steep cliff to be tortured for all eternity as punishment for giving humans fire. Prometheus curses all-powerful Jupiter; however, Prometheus becomes so compassionate during his torture that he forgets the curse, and he wants to remember it. (Note: Jupiter and Zeus are the same god; the only difference is the name. Jupiter is the supreme god in Roman mythology, and Zeus is the supreme god in Greek mythology.)Read the excerpt from Prometheus by Josephine Preston Peabody.With every new gift, men desired more and more. They set out to see unknown lands, and their ambitions grew with their knowledge. They were like a race of poor gods gifted with dreams of great glory and the power to fashion marvellous things; and, though they had no endless youth to spend, the gods were troubled.Last of all, Prometheus went up secretly to heaven after the treasure of the immortals. He lighted a reed at the flame of the sun, and brought down the holy fire which is dearest to the gods. For with the aid of fire all things are possible, all arts are perfected.
