Heroes: The Greek Myths Reimagined (Stephen Fry's Great Mythology, #2)

by Stephen Fry

thanks to Prometheus we are now endowed with the divine spark, the creative fire, the consciousness that once belonged only to gods. The Golden Age has become an Age of Heroes—men and women who grasp their destinies, use their human qualities of courage, cunning, ambition, speed, and strength to perform astonishing deeds, vanquish terrible monsters, and establish great cultures and lineages that change the world. The divine fire stolen from heaven by their champion Prometheus burns within them. They fear, respect, and worship their parental gods, but somewhere inside they know they are a match for them. Humanity has entered its teenage years.
