Master director Ridley Scott also announced the fifth installment in the Alien series in 2012 under the name “Prometheus.”
The main story is about an expedition aboard a spaceship called Prometheus to find extraterrestrial life forms believed to have created humanity on Earth.
It deals with the relationship between aliens, gods, and humans in search of the origins of humanity, and the name Prometheus must have given people a lot to think about.
Creator of humanity, scheming trickster, political prisoner of resistance, tortured martyr, technician, champion of the proletariat… these are just some of the roles of Prometheus.
His role as a prophet is rarely emphasized, which is surprising, given that Prometheus signifies foresight.

In October 1998, audiences at E.
Gather at Dublin's Abbey Theatre to see the premiere of Marina Carr's M. Forster Award-winning play, Cat Swamp.
Hester Swain, the protagonist of this work full of Irish sentiment, is a traveler and a foreigner.
She has lived with Carthage Kilbride for 14 years and has a seven-year-old daughter with him.
Cassidy plans to abandon Hester, who is now forty, and marry the twenty-year-old daughter of a wealthy landowner.
Hester's revenge begins with burning down Carthage's house and ends with the ironic crime of stabbing her daughter to death to protect her from being abandoned by her mother.
Although the work is clearly based on Euripides' tragedy, the ending is much more radical.
By choosing suicide rather than change and movement, Hester seals her fate forever.

(…) A work that stands in stark contrast to Carr’s work in terms of atmosphere and plot is the 1981 work Medea by Italian journalist and playwright Marieclà Boggio.
Bogio does not simply follow the tradition of Euripides and Seneca, but takes the tradition itself as its starting point, with the protagonist repeatedly quoting lines from Medea recited by people of the late classical period.
Boggio's perspective reflects the feminist movement of the 1980s.
Boggio's Medea responds to her husband's betrayal not by killing his young mistress, but by forming solidarity with her.
(…) In works that recreate the Medea myth, such as Kawa Bogio, the goddess-like aspect of Medea has no place in the real story.
However, there are modern stories that interpret Medea's extraordinary abilities as a ghostly figure.
The most active medium is film, and a representative work is The Others, directed by Spanish director Alejandro Amenábar.

Ayrton's growing identification with Daedalus led him to build an actual labyrinth and, in 1967, to publish The Labyrinth Builder, a novel purportedly an autobiography of Daedalus.
For Airton, the labyrinth represented the very essence of existence.
Ayrton also had an Icarian side, as his father was actually the famous poet and literary critic Gerald Gould.

(…) In modern art, Icarus seems to have a stronger influence than Daedalus.
Consider Icarus, a performance by Chris Burden, a controversial artist based in Los Angeles in 1973.
Before the performance, the artist lay on his back on the floor naked.
The assistant writers place a piece of glass on each of his shoulders, pour oil on the glass, and light it.
It shows a human figure with flaming wings.
A few seconds later, Burden jumps up and drops the glass to the ground, shattering it.
Ten years later, in 1983, the heavy metal band Iron Maiden released a song titled "The Ascent of Icarus", adding their own interpretation of the myth.
