Prometheus with Will Linn

Prometheus is testing his chains. The titan of freedom fighting and human rights is on the rise. Let's look. Let's look at the archetypal patterns that recur with rebellion: disruptive knowledge and technology, ​cataclysm, and the confrontation of power with profound eloquence. Prometheus is a personification of procreation and the inspired impulse to craft. Art, technology, language and social change--we look to Prometheus to find that feeling. Sometimes it feels like rebellion. Sometimes it feels like creation. It always feels like change. And it comes through his every nuance. From bondage to liberation--from flood to fire and sunrise--his myth reveals the secret pattern that topples the status quo.
