520 1  "Prometheus the god stole fire from heaven and bestowed it
       on humans. In punishment, Zeus chained him to a rock, 
       where an eagle clawed unceasingly at his liver, until 
       Herakles freed him. For the Greeks, the myth of 
       Prometheus's release reflected a primordial law of 
       existence and the fate of humankind. Carl Kerenyi examines
       the story of Prometheus and the very process of mythmaking
       as a reflection of the archetypal function and seeks to 
       discover how this primitive tale was invested with a 
       universal fatality, first in the Greek imagination, and 
       then in the Western tradition of Romantic poetry. Kerenyi 
       traces the evolving myth from Hesiod and Aeschylus, and in
       its epic treatment by Goethe and Shelly; he moves on to 
       consider the myth from the perspective of Jungian 
       psychology, as the archetype of human daring signifying 
       the transformation of suffering into the mystery of the 
       sacrifice."--Jacket.
