Invitation to Prometheus
A telling of the well-trod myth of Prometheus, how he came to be bound to the rock, and what he did after.
**Epilepsy Warning** - at 5:25-5:45 the autofocus goes a bit wild due to a lighting effect. Please steward yourself appropriately.
The view is intentionally dim and suggestive, rather than showing you much beyond the points of light in full illumination. Let your imagination fill in the gaps, and by all means - tell me what you see!
Research for this story was conducted on theoi.com, and owes a debt to the scholarship of Tumblr users dionysianmystery, hermes-barrel-rolls, and thegrapeandfig.
This story is adapted from a ritual given to Gaia Community Unitarian Universalist Congregation as part of the Annual Patron Selection process in June of 2022. Prometheus was elected in a very close Ranked Choice vote as the Patron for July 2022-July 2023.

    He played the first thing that came to his head and it just so happened to be... a Tenacious D reference. XD Seriously, though, this was really well done.

      Thanks Kit! This was a double reference moment - the Tenacious D quote has a Hadestown chaser :p

    This is a really good audio drama! Had humor in all the right places, plenty of drama and tears, and your narration was crisp and clear; both I and the notoriously finicky Closed Captions could understand every word! Great adaptation of Orpheus and Eurydice's story.
