“The powers reserved by the gods were already appropriated by man. Prometheus might have done us all a solid by stealing fire and giving it to mortals, but we don’t have a casting call out for other traitorous gods. We’re not begging Athena to steal us the secrets of precision artillery strikes, nor Hermes to grant us the secrets behind engines with increased horsepower. Prometheus stole us fire, but we took the rest ourselves.”
