'"What power was it that freed Prometheus from his vultures and transformed the myth into a vehicle of Dionysian wisdom? It is the Herakleian power of music".
[ib., 10]'

Freeing Prometheus and killing the Vulture was Herakles' 7th Labour ["help says the vulture, I've become a myth!"].

Therefore the Prometheus tale fits in with the whole mythic sequence of the Sun Cycle which is all about cyclic rejuvenation.

A 're-ligion' is a 'binding-back'
There is a revaluation here; Promemtheus is happy to pity and yet hates to envy.
Whereas envy is a virtue to Nietzsche - so the Nietzsche would not suffer from this affect having attained the innocence of becoming.
It is rather pity that would unsettle him.
Ultimately all suffer from Time


The liver of Prometheus constantly renews itself just as Prometheus himself is immortal - in torment.
The ambiguity of such immortality underlines the anxiety of our Being in Time.
These symbols of death-less gods loading their hours with fantastic deeds, or else of mortal heroes, destined to taken young by their loving gods, all point to the ever unsettled and unsettling philosophical question of Being.


AH! But slowly now my friends!

Let us establish a canon on which to draw, and to make discoveries from!

Milton's 'Paradise Lost', and Blake's 'Milton'.

Byron's 'Manfred', and Shelley's 'Prometheus Unbound'.

Nietzsche's 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' and Pound's 'Cantos'.

Rimbaud's 'Season in Hell/Illuminations', and Morrison's 'Lords/New Creatures'.

Hitler's 'Mein Kampf', and MacDonald's 'Turner Diaries'.

These books are in my New Testament.

All Testaments to Promethean struggle!
