The Moon Prometheus

There are three objects named after Prometheus outside of Earth:
A moon,
A volcano,
And an asteroid.

From Mythweb.com

It is stern work, it is perilous work, to thrust your hand in the sun

And pull out a spark of immortal flame to warm the hearts of men:

But Prometheus, torn by the claws and beaks whose task is never done,

Would be tortured another eternity to go stealing fire again.

-Joyce Kilmer in "The Proud Poet" (1917)

Pete Lacaba's Poem

To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite;

To forgive wrongs darker than Death or Night;

To defy Power, which seems Omnipotent;

To love, and bear; to hope, till Hope creates

From its own wreck the thing it contemplates;

Neither to change nor falter nor repent;

This, like thy glory, Titan! is to be

Good, great and joyous, beautiful and free;

This is alone Life; Joy, Empire, and Victory!

-Percy Bysshe Shelley, in Prometheus Unbound (1818-1819); Demogorgon, in Act IV, closing lines

From Iseult Gillespie's TED Talk

Thy Godlike crime was to be kind,

To render with thy precepts less

The sum of human wretchedness,

And strengthen Man with his own mind

-Lord Byron, in "Prometheus" Stanza III
