“You were never going to take us to McDonald’s, Zeus!”

Rick Riordan created a rather bizarre portrayal of Prometheus. But what else is new? The Ancients also presented dramatically different versions of the fire-thieving Titan of foresight. Let’s talk about all of them and Mary Shelley, too!

Talking points include who is really to blame for Luke Castellan’s fate, Zeus being a brat about getting tricked by Prometheus, dolphin culture, that time some CW writers decided Artemis was totally in love with Prometheus, and how Romantics really loved Prometheus.

Spoilers for Heroes of Olympus, Trials of Apollo, Supernatural, Portal 2, Hercules: The Animated Series, Chalice of the Gods, Tomb Raider World, Promare, Stargate, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
