Talk:Prometheus Unbound

I was going to post this under the Real-world references section, but after finishing it, I'm not so sure:

Prometheus Unbound is the title of incomplete play by Aeschylus, which inspired a play the same name by Percy Shelley. Both concern Prometheus, a character in Greek mythology who stole fire from Mount Olympus and have it to humans; as punishment, he was cast into Hades and tied to a rock, where an eagle ate his liver every day. Megatron in Beast Machines seems to see himself as a figure akin to Prometheus, bringing the 'gifts' of freedom from organic matter, individuality, and consciousness; as well as technological perfection, to all of Cybertron. Up until now, he has been going to increasing lengths to purge himself of his own organic components, which he sees as a contamination of his mechanical purity; being trapped in a purely organic body as a result thus mirrors Prometheus' torment in Hades. The act of freeing his spark form Noble's body and bringing it to a purely technological existence is compared to Prometheus breaking free from his bond in order to confront Zeus. In Aeschylus' play, Prometheus and Zeus eventually reconcile; in Shelley's, Zeus is cast down, freeing humans and gods from his tyranny. Both of the endings foreshadow the final episode.

Worth noting? Or is it too fanwanky? Fortress Minimus 19:04, 3 November 2009 (EST)

I'd say worth noting. I'm going to add this to the page. Khajidha 16:48, 20 December 2009 (EST)
