My attempt at a Lego prometheus ship. Not a big fan of the movie but I love this ship. Its like a smaller ship with a smaller crew. The cockpit is larger and this is a view of that underside cockpit view window

Prometheus liebt die Menschen. Er bricht das Monopol der Götter und bringt dem Menschen das göttliche Feuer, das Licht der Erkenntnis.
Durch seine Solidarität, seine Treue und Freundschaft finden wir – durch Instinkt und Einsicht – den Weg zurück nach Hause.
Hab Dank Prometheus!

B1 oder der Administrator fühlt sich verantwortlich für die ihm übertragenen Aufgaben und wird diese in der Regel ordentlich erfüllen. Er ist ein treuer Untergebener, pflichtbewusst und fleißig. Loyalität zählt gewiss zu seinen Stärken.
Im Beamtentum und der Verwaltung von Unternehmen finden wir diesen Typus sehr häufig an.

Prometheus Bound (1611)
Painted by: Peter Paul Rubens
At the height of his glory, Rubens attracted an influx of commissions so great that no one man could possibly satisfy it. Consequently he set about organising a sort of picture factory to meet demand. This was standard practice at the time. When Otto Sperling, the Danish doctor, visited the studio in 1621, he saw "a large hall without windows, lit only by a large skylight. There were many young painters there, working on different canvases, for each of which Rubens had made chalk drawings, here and there adding indications as to colour. These he later finished himself, and they then passed for works by Rubens."
This proceeding has presented art historians with inextricable problems. But Rubens did not mislead his customers: he specified who had worked on what, and adjusted prices to reflect the degree of his own involvement. His collaborators could, in any case, scarcely be described as pupils. He chose them among the best artists of his time, each according to his speciality: one for flowers, another for animals, another again for landscape. They included the landscape artist Jan Wilden and the animal-painters Paul de Vos and Frans Snyders. The Olympian eagle devouring the liver of Rubens' Prometheus Bound was painted by Frans Snyders.

Zeus sent most of the Titans to Tartarus to punish them for fighting against him in the Titanomachy, but since second-generation Titan Prometheus had not sided with his aunts, uncles, and brother Atlas, Zeus spared him. Zeus then assigned Prometheus the task of forming man from water and earth, which Prometheus did, but in the process, became fonder of men than Zeus had anticipated. Zeus didn't share Prometheus' feelings and wanted to prevent men from having power, especially over fire. Prometheus cared more for man than for the wrath of the increasingly powerful and autocratic king of the gods, so he stole fire from Zeus' lightning, concealed it in a hollow stalk of fennel, and brought it to man. Prometheus also stole skills from Hephaestus and Athena to give to man.
The next stage in Prometheus' career as benefactor of mankind came when Zeus and he were developing the ceremonial forms for animal sacrifice. The astute Prometheus devised a sure-fire way to help man. He divided the slaughtered animal parts into two packets. In one was the ox-meat and innards wrapped up in the stomach lining. In the other packet were the ox-bones wrapped up in its own rich fat. One would go to the gods and the other to the humans making the sacrifice. Prometheus presented Zeus with a choice between the two, and Zeus took the deceptively richer appearing: the fat-encased, but inedible bones.
As a result of Prometheus' trick, for ever after, whenever man sacrificed to the gods, he would be able to feast on the meat, so long as he burned the bones as an offering for the gods.
Zeus reacted to these tricks by presenting man with a "gift," Pandora, the first woman. While Prometheus may have crafted man, woman was a different sort of creature. She came from the forge of Hephaestus, beautiful as a goddess and beguiling. Zeus presented her as a bride to Prometheus' brother Epimetheus. Prometheus had the gift of thinking ahead, but Epimetheus was only capable of afterthought, so Prometheus, expecting retribution for his audacity, had warned his brother against accepting gifts from Zeus.
Zeus gave the gods-crafted Pandora as bride to Epimetheus, along with a box that they were instructed to keep closed. Epimetheus was dazzled by Pandora and forgot the advice of his prescient brother.
Prometheus was still not awed by the might of Zeus and continued to defy him, refusing to warn him of the dangers of the nymph Thetis (future mother of Achilles). Zeus had tried punishing Prometheus through his loved ones, but this time he decided to punish him more directly. He ordered Hephaestus (or Hermes) to chain Prometheus to Mount Caucasus where an eagle/vulture ate his ever-regenerating liver each day. This is the topic of Aeschylus' tragedy Prometheus Bound and many paintings.
Eventually Hercules rescued Prometheus, and Zeus and the Titan were reconciled.
By Aeschylus
Prometheus was the symbol of Pripyat, the city built to house the workers at the nearby Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Compare this in-game rendition of the statue and Prometey Cinema with this old photograph of the real thing.
Before the statue in front of Pripyat´s cinema could be stolen, it was transferred to another symbolic place, right next to the Chernobyl power plant.

Special 2003 Retrospective... it's one of my first series of pictures, taken soon after I obtained my camera in April 2003.
Sometimes it's nice to revisit some old pictures.
