I like the story of Prometheus. He is one of the few Gods who cared at all. I dislike any involving Zeus and his shenanigans with women, mostly because of a book of Greek myths I was given when I was 6. In it, it tells of him kidnapping various women and they ending up with his offspring and his wife's ire.All illustrated with graphic classical paintings.

I was terrified for months that if I as much as looked at a bull or swan wrong he could come and get me. I had nightmares, and then the nightmares got the stories more mixed up in my head. It got better eventually but left me with a very personal dislike of Zeus.

Ummmm Prometheus was actually a Titan ๐Ÿค“

Jokes aside Prometheus was the realest cunt. Talk about taking one for the team.
