“Myths have no life of their own. They wait for us to give them flesh.”– Albert Camus, Prometheus in the Underworld
“Prometheus — One of the Titans of Greek myth, famous as a benefactor of man”The New York Times on today’s maiden speech of the new prime minister of France:
“PARIS, June 8 – … In replying to his critics, Mr. De Villepin quoted from Albert Camus’s
description of Prometheus, saying, ‘He is harder than his rock and more
patient than his vulture.’”
