Abstract

Since many believe the notion that a higher power than man, "God," created mankind, it is assumed that this undertaking can only be performed by God, and therefore anyone else attempting such a task would be blaspheming his efforts. The Promethean myth challenges that the creation of humans can only be done through divine efforts. When Prometheus stole fire from Zeus, he was in fact, stealing knowledge from Zeus. Scientists have been performing Promethean feats since this myth began. The Prometheus myth proves that another being other than a God can recreate a living being, but the results may be different from the original created.
