STATUES OF PROMETHEUS

The above map shows the rough locations of sculptures depicting or inspired by Prometheus, whether they are literal or abstract. Each marker’s description contains a link that should take you to a page with - at minimum - an image of the statue. While I do not necessarily agree with all the motives to establish these monuments, I think they help show a portion of humanity’s relationship with Prometheus.
