There have been many proposals for the origin of the Masonic Hiram Abiff story, which are dismissed by most Masonic scholars. However, the leading theory supported by many scholars of historical Freemasonry is advanced in the recent work of Bro. Christopher Powell. In 2021, he published a paper in QCCC that the Reverend Dr. John Theophilus Desaguliers is the likely author of the Hiram Abiff story in the early 1720s and introduced it into the 3rd degree. In his research, Bro. Powell notes how Desaguliers also introduced the "lost word" aspect of the Royal Arch degree which he likely read in a book he owned titled "The Temple of Solomon, portrayed by Scripture-light." If the word was to be found, it would need to be first lost, hence the Hiram Abiff story. According to Powell, Desaguliers as a Frenchman living in England, would have known the Chanson de Geste legend (explored below), and used it as a base for the legend of Hiram Abiff. However instead of being used as a ritual since the 12th century, Powell argues that Desaguliers used this existing myth to create a central story for the newly created 3rd degree, for which there is no evidence whatsoever before 1720. In the Devil May Cry series, a demon named Sparda "wakes up to justice", as the game itself calls it when he falls in love with a human woman named Eva. He would later go on to betray demonkind and free humanity from their tyranny. The protagonist of the series is one of their children, Dante. The same reference to the Genealogiae can be cited as the source for the drawing by Parmigianino presently located in the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City. [83] In the drawing, a very noble rendering of Prometheus is presented which evokes the memory of Michelangelo's works portraying Jehovah. This drawing is perhaps one of the most intense examples of the visualisation of the myth of Prometheus from the Renaissance period.

Isabelle of Paris starts with the Forbidden Romance of Jules Francoeur, an impoverished pianist who incites the commoners to resist the forces of the Bourgieoisie and leads the Paris Commune, and Geneviève Laustin, the oldest daughter of the Laustin family. Geneviève is disowned for loving Jules, but she doesn't care and marries him. Near the Grand Finale, Geneviève reveals to Isabelle that she is pregnant with Jules' child. She states that she will fight for Paris to ensure her child's future. According to Hesiod, Theogony 507–511, Clymene, one of the Oceanids, the daughters of Oceanus and Tethys, at Hesiod, Theogony 351, was the mother by Iapetus of Atlas, Menoetius, Prometheus, and Epimetheus, while according to Apollodorus, 1.2.3, another Oceanid, Asia was their mother by Iapetus. Karl-Martin Dietz states that in contrast to Hesiod's, in Aeschylus' oeuvre, Prometheus stands for the "Ascent of humanity from primitive beginnings to the present level of civilisation."

By the Classical period, the races were run by ephebes also in honour of Hephaestus and Athena. [51] Prometheus' association with fire is the key to his religious significance [45] and to the alignment with Athena and Hephaestus that was specific to Athens and its "unique degree of cultic emphasis" on honouring technology. [52] The festival of Prometheus was the Prometheia (τὰ Προμήθεια). The wreaths worn symbolised the chains of Prometheus. [53] There is a pattern of resemblances between Hephaestus and Prometheus. Although the classical tradition is that Hephaestus split Zeus's head to allow Athena's birth, that story has also been told of Prometheus. A variant tradition makes Prometheus the son of Hera like Hephaestus. [54] According to that version, the Giant Eurymedon raped Hera when she was young, and she had Prometheus. After Zeus married Hera, he threw Eurymedon into Tartarus and punished Prometheus in Caucasus, using the theft of fire as an excuse. [55] [56] Ancient artists depict Prometheus wearing the pointed cap of an artist or artisan, like Hephaestus, and also the crafty hero Odysseus. The artisan's cap was also depicted as worn by the Cabeiri, [57] supernatural craftsmen associated with a mystery cult known in Athens in classical times, and who were associated with both Hephaestus and Prometheus. Kerényi suggests that Hephaestus may in fact be the "successor" of Prometheus, despite Hephaestus being himself of archaic origin.

In Georgian mythology, Amirani is a cultural hero who challenged the chief god and, like Prometheus, was chained on the Caucasian mountains where birds would eat his organs. This aspect of the myth had a significant influence on the Greek imagination. It is recognisable from a Greek gem roughly dated to the time of the Hesiod poems, which show Prometheus with hands bound behind his body and crouching before a bird with long wings. [73] This same image would also be used later in the Rome of the Augustan age as documented by Furtwangler. [74] Sutton, Frances (28 February 2020).

The myth of Prometheus has been a favourite theme of Western art and literature in the post- renaissance and post- Enlightenment tradition and, occasionally, in works produced outside the West. In his 1952 book, Lucifer and Prometheus, Zvi Werblowsky presented the speculatively derived Jungian construction of the character of Satan in Milton's celebrated poem Paradise Lost. Werblowsky applied his own Jungian style of interpretation to appropriate parts of the Prometheus myth for the purpose of interpreting Milton. A reprint of his book in the 1990s by Routledge Press included an introduction to the book by Carl Jung. Some Gnostics have been associated with identifying the theft of fire from heaven as embodied by the fall of Lucifer "the Light Bearer".

According to one superstition, the seventh son in a family of all boys is prone to fall victim to a curse that would turn him into a luison (or lobizon or lobisomen). This creature exists in the mythology of South America, particularly in the countries of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. In Braveheart, Queen Isabella brags to a voiceless and deathly ill King Longshanks that she is pregnant not by his son, but by William Wallace, whom she truly loves. She makes it explicitly clear that she intends for Wallace's line to be the one that inherits the throne.
