Prometheus: The Firegiver is a book written by Robert Seymour Bridges and published in 1884. It is a poetic retelling of the Greek myth of Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans. The book is divided into three parts, each with its own set of poems. The first part tells the story of Prometheus and his punishment for giving fire to humans. The second part explores the nature of fire and its role in human civilization. The third part is a meditation on the meaning of Prometheus's sacrifice and the human condition. Bridges's poetic style is characterized by its musicality and its use of classical allusions. The book is considered a classic of Victorian poetry and a significant contribution to the mythic tradition in English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
