"It was by theft that Prometheus procured the fire that is useful to man; the myth of the theft of fire is wide spread."

"The twelve gods of Olympus agreed to appear as entirely human. It was the first time a group of divinities had renounced abstraction and animal heads... Now the gods took on cool, polished skin, or an unreal warmth, and a body where you could see the ripple of muscles, the long veins.
The change brought with it a new exhilaration and a new terror. All previous manifestations seemed tentative and cautious by comparison; they hadn't risked the boldest of adventures which was precisely that of the gods disguising themselves as human in a human world..."

Roberto Calasso
The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony
(Jonathan Cape, London, 1993)
