“You know the story.” The Nalnom rotated his hand in the air as if she should recall it. “I don’t. I’ve never heard the story.” Joshlon summarized it for her. “Prometheus was turned into a dragon by his angry lover, Naradite. She refused to turn him back into his manly form. He became the first fire-breathing dragon—Naga the Terrible.” Eena dropped her lower jaw. “What?” “Naradite turned Prometheus into a dragon,” Joshlon repeated. “Naga.” “And Prometheus is Edgar’s father?” She was sure the surrounding stares were the result of her virtually shouting out the question. Joshlon answered with some hesitance in his voice. “I don’t know who Edgar is, but Edgarmetheus was supposedly the son of Prometheus, the illegitimate child of him and his lover, Naradi”
Richelle E. Goodrich“Had Mary Shelley fretted so? Maybe yes, maybe no. She’d begun her classic work on a dare. Had culled a dream to bring it into being. But it was not lost on Laura that the story might be a prolonged exercise in Shelley’s personal terrors. The subtitle of the work was 'Prometheus Unbound,' and Laura wondered if Shelley herself was not Prometheus in the form of the wandering monster, who desperately sought love and acceptance but was ultimately driven to face an icy landscape that seemed almost fantastical—the way our own subconscious could be, white and frozen-slippery.”

David Brin, Brightness Reef“Prometheus, thief of light, giver of light, bound by the gods, must have been a book.”
Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves“We came upon a massacre at the Shrine of Prometheus. The humans were ripped to shreds. There was no one ieft alive to say what happened, said Eros.”
Wynn Mercere, City of the Gods: Forgotten“I beg you, alight and join your sorrow with mine: misfortune wanders everywhere, and settles now upon one and now upon another.”
Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound“For it would be better to die once and for all than to suffer pain for all one's life.”
Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound“The immortal gods, the deities will rise, they will fall but none will live beyond the wall. Prometheus, knows love & saves them all.”
Truth Devour, Unrequited“They say, 'The coward dies many times'; so does the beloved. Didn't the eagle find a fresh liver to tear in Prometheus every time it dined?”
