Prometheus, the Tortured Titan

6634a385bd2802fe9aa13d0c

As I learned about Prometheus and his tale, I kept thinking of the parallels with Jesus, another sacrificial divine figure who chose to offer humanity salvation but suffered the consequences. So, I chose to mimic some of those parallels in the imagery. Sometimes I like to take these types of bold chances, and sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. But as an artist and storyteller, I would rather take a risk and fail, (and learn from them), than stay within the safety of my comfort zone all the time. We learn more from failures than we do from successes, so I believe it's important for artists to be fearless in this regard.

In the works of Hesiod, my tale is told—the tale of Prometheus, the Titan of craft and forethought. I refuse to take part in the Titanomachy, or "War of the Titans", and for that, I am spared the grim fate of my Titan brothers and sisters, who are cast down into Tartarus. Yet, I still do not stand as an ally of Zeus. Our differences run deep when I choose to ally myself with humanity and am severely punished for it.
