Prometheus: The Autobiography

Prometheus, ancient Greek God of Consciousness, long tortured for the crime of compassion to human beings, is now free to give us his view of the history of Western Civilization. Myth, language of the psyche, before the insurance market ate psychology, need not succumb to a choice between living possessed by fundamentalist fanaticism or soul death of solipsistic fad. The individual is a central figure of our culture's mythos. Prometheus is a voice who articulates the experience of the individual, out of our peculiar cultural history, which both demanded the individual and persecuted the consciousness that is the individual's defining feature.
