Prometheus: Satan Passes the Torch to Man
In Greek mythology, Prometheus (Ancient Greek, ?????????, “forethought”) is the Titan chiefly honored for stealing fire from the gods in the stalk of a fennel plant and giving it to mortals for their use. He is depicted as an intelligent and cunning figure who had sympathy for humanity. To this day, the term promethean refers to events or people of great creativity, intellect and boldness.
The fennel torch’s fire represented knowledge and comfort.
In 1820 the Illuminati author Percy Bysshe Shelley scripted Prometues Unbound, a play heralding a satanic Prometheus.
It was inspired by Aeschylus’s ‘Prometheus Bound’ and concerns the final release from captivity of Prometheus. However, unlike Aeschylus’s version, there is no reconciliation between Prometheus and Zeus in Shelley’s narrative. Instead, Jupiter is overthrown, which allows Prometheus to be released.
Shelley took the original myth and added a psuedo Christian pro-Satanic spin to it. Prometheus was banished to Hades and managed to escape. So too in the Bible we read that in the end times Satan would be loosed upon the Earth.
Shelley’s own introduction to the play explains his intentions behind the work. He defends his choice to adapt Aeschylus’ myth - his choice to have Jupiter overthrown rather than Prometheus reconciled - with:
“The only imaginary being, resembling in any degree Prometheus, is Satan; and Prometheus is, in my judgement, a more poetical character than Satan, because, in addition to courage, and majesty, and firm and patient opposition to omnipotent force, he is susceptible of being described as exempt from the taints of ambition, envy, revenge, and a desire for personal aggrandizement, which, in the hero of Paradise Lost, interfere with the interest”
Shelley compares his Romantic hero Prometheus to Milton’s proto-Romantic hero Satan from Paradise Lost.
How is this relevent to modern life in America? The mystery religions and satanic secret societies have adopted this Satanic concept of a “light bringer” as their symbol for the coming enlightened New Age.

While Milton’s Satan embodies a spirit of rebellion, that character is flawed because his aims are not humanistic. In his Prometheus, Shelley seeks to create a perfect revolutionary in an ideal, abstract sense (thus the difficulty of the poem). Shelley’s Prometheus is also an improvement upon the Jesus of both the Bible, Christian orthodox tradition (which Shelley despised - he was kicked out of Oxford for publishing an atheist tract), as well as Milton’s character of the Son in Paradise Lost. While Jesus or the Son sacrifices himself to save mankind, this act of sacrifice does nothing to overthrow the type of tyranny embodied, for Shelley, in the figure of God the Father. Prometheus resembles Jesus in that both uncompromisingly speak truth to power, and in how Prometheus overcomes his tyrant, Jupiter
“My purpose has hitherto been simply to familiarize the highly refined imagination of the more select classes of poetical readers with beautiful idealisms of moral excellence; aware that, until the mind can love, and admire, and trust, and hope, and endure, reasoned principles of moral conduct…”
Again, Shelley makes his intent clear, this was meant to be read and understood by “more select classes”. The New Age, New World Order philosophy has been nurished by the same group of anti-Christian Illuminati.
As Prometheus passed the torch of Knowledge to man, so too these “select” readers understand that so too, Satan passed knowledge to man as he convinced Eve to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
But the gods of old have no meaning in today’s modern era… right? Then why does this statue of Prometheus stand in front of the GE building in Rockefeller Center? Could it be that our modern world powers, even leaders of industry hold this Satanic character in awe? Obviously this is indeed the case.
