Prometheus

In Greek mythology, one of the Titans or "elder gods": said to have been responsible for the creation of man. His brother Epimetheus had been entrusted with the making of animalkind, and gave them many excellent gifts -- swiftness, strength, and so on, as well as horns and fangs and other ways to protect themselves. Prometheus, however, took so long in working on his own creation -- humanity -- that all the best gifts were gone by the time his own creation was ready. He therefore stole fire from the Gods and gave it to mankind as the best possible gift under the circumstances.

In HW, the One's Champion states that he has had many names among mankind, one of them being Prometheus; he states that he was sent many times to put "the fire" -- meaning not only the sciences, but also wizardry -- into mankind's hands. He also states that this was no theft, but the intent of the One. There would seem on the surface of things to be some confusion of the Champion's role as the Michael Power with that of the Wise Power, as he further states that he was sometimes known as Athene and Thor. However, it seems that there is some sharing of attributes among the Powers that Be, and that their strictly mythological avatars may share attributes of one or more of them. (HW at al.)
