“Heracles: But you told me I couldn't die.
Prometheus: Death entered this world with the gods. You mortals fear death because you know that the gods, by being gods, are immortal. But everyone has the death he deserves. Their day will come too.
Heracles: What do you mean, Prometheus?
Prometheus: Not everything can be explained. But always remember that monsters do not die. What dies is the fear they inspire. So with the gods: when men no longer fear them, they will vanish.
Heracles: And will the Titans return then?
Prometheus: Rocks and forests don't return. They are. What has been will be.
Heracles: And yet you Titans were changed by the gods. You too, Prometheus.
Prometheus: Titan is a name, nothing more. Understand me, Heracles. The world has its seasons, like the fields, like the earth. Winter returns, summer returns. How can we say that the forest dies, or remains the same? Before long, men will be the Titans.
Heracles: We mortals?
Prometheus: You mortals—or immortals. The name doesn't matter.”
