Prometheus lent humans the gift of fire, and while the move he made had Zeus fuming, Prometheus never regretted his decision. Prometheus was unlike any of his counterparts on who lived on Mount Olympus; a God that cared about the events of the future, about the world the humans lived in, and about the people who lived on that world. He was disinterested in Godly matters, disinterested in the wonderful things that all the other gods seemed to enjoy.

The subject of existentialism is not easy to define as it is impossible to explain the purpose of human existence in few sentences. However, according to American Heritage Dictionary (3rd edition), existentialism refers to a philosophy that lays emphasis on isolation and uniqueness of the individual in an indifferent or hostile environment.

Any injuries sustained are likely to be fatal.
