Prometheus is a character from Greek Mythology. Based on your background, and the pictures what do you know about Prometheus?

Page 10: Unreal Literature Week 9

The subtitle The Modern Prometheus refers to the figure in Greek mythology who was responsible for a conflict between mankind and the gods. In order to help the people, Prometheus stole Zeus's fire from the sun. The people were thereby given an advantage to the animals since fire gave man the ability to make weapons and tools. Prometheus was severely punished by Zeus who chained him to a rock in the Caucasus. Every night, Prometheus was visited by an eagle who ate from his liver. During the day, however, his liver grew back to its original state.

It also refers to the story of Prometheus plasticator who was to said to have created and animated mankind out of clay.

These two myths were eventually fused together: the fire that Prometheus had stolen is the fire of life with which he animated his clay models.

Because of the 'creating' aspect, Prometheus became a symbol for the creating artist in the eighteenth century.

Victor Frankenstein can indeed be seen as the modern Prometheus. He defies the gods by creating life himself. Instead of being the created, Victor takes God's place and becomes the creator. Just as Prometheus, Victor gets punished for his deeds. He is, however, punished by his creation whereas Prometheus was punished by the god who he stole from.

So, why the subtitle?

Paradise Lost is an epic poem written by John Milton about Satan’s fall from heaven and Adam and Eve’s banishment from the Garden of Eden.

Paradise LostDid I request thee, Maker, from my clay

To mould me man? Did I solicit theeFrom darkness to promote me?

In Frankenstein, the intelligent and sensitive monster created by Victor Frankenstein reads

a copy of Milton's Paradise Lost, which profoundly stirs his emotions.

Why?

In Switzerland with the Romantic Poets:

George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, later George Gordon Noel, 6th Baron Byron, (22 January 1788 – 19 April 1824), commonly known simply as Lord Byron, was a British poet and a leading figure in Romanticism . Byron was celebrated in life for aristocratic excesses including huge debts, numerous love affairs, and self-imposed exile. He was famously described by Lady Caroline Lamb as "mad, bad and dangerous to know".[ Percy Bysshe Shelley (4 August 1792 – 8 July 1822; was one of the major English Romantic Poets and is critically regarded among the finest lyric poets in English Literature. Shelley was famous for his association with John Keats and Lord ByronAbsinthe historically described as distilled, highly potent beverage. It is an anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs, commonly referred to as "grande wormwood", together with green anise and sweet fennel. Absinthe traditionally has a natural green color but can also be colorless. It is commonly referred to in historical literature as " la fée verte" (the "green fairy" in French).Absinthe has been portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug. The chemical thujone, present in small quantities, was blamed for its alleged harmful effects.

Inspired by Galvanism

In biology, galvanism is the contraction of a muscle that is stimulated by an electric current.

The effect was named by Alessandro Volta after his contemporary, the scientist Luigi Galvani, who investigated the effect of electricity on dissected animals in the 1780s and 1790s. It happened when Galvani was doing some dissection work in his lab with the frog, and one more dissected frog was hanging on the brass rod, suddenly Galvani's scalpel made up of steel touched the brass rod, and he saw twitching of muscle in frog's leg, he then did it again, and saw the twitching of muscle again.
