Exploring the myth of Prometheus, this work delves into the themes of suffering and transformation, illustrating how the tale reflects profound truths about human existence. Carl Kerényi traces the evolution of the myth from ancient Greek sources like Hesiod and Aeschylus to its reinterpretation in Romantic poetry by figures such as Goethe and Shelley. Additionally, the analysis incorporates Jungian psychology, presenting Prometheus as an archetype of human daring and the journey from pain to sacrifice, highlighting its lasting impact on Western thought.
