Prometheus is mentioned by the Mysteries Host. Prometheus is known as the patron of humankind.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus#Hesiod
Hesiod revisits the story of Prometheus in the Works and Days (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_and_Days) (lines 42-105). Here, the poet expands upon Zeus' reaction to the theft of fire. Not only does Zeus withhold fire from men, but "the means of life," as well.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus#Aeschylus
According to Aeschylus interpretation in addition to giving humankind fire, Prometheus claims to have taught them the arts of civilization, such as writing, mathematics, agriculture, medicine, and science.
In an apparent twist on the myth of the so-called Five Ages of Man found in Hesiod's Works and Days (wherein Cronus and, later, Zeus created and destroyed five successive races of mortal men), Prometheus asserts that Zeus had wanted to obliterate the human race, but that he somehow stopped him.
I find it interesting Prometheus is along with the riddle.
So as the gods overthrew the Titans.
So as Man overthrown the gods.
When Man visits his sins upon his Children how should he be repayed?
Answer:
All of this has happened before and it will happen again.... But does it have to be?
Prometheus objected to Man being destroyed.
Which was the point of the Final Five warned by the "Angels" to go back track their ancestors trail and save the 12 tribes from themselves.
