title: Prometheus: Archetypal Image of Human Existence
author: Carl Kernyi
description: "A sterling example of classical scholarship, literary exegesis, and cultural inference. . . . Not only does this book tell us much about man, through his prototypical image, but also much about the Greek civilization which created Prometheus in its image." (<i>Contemporary Psychology</i>)
