The Prometheus myth first appeared in the late 8th-century BC Greek epic poet Hesiod's Theogony (lines 507–616). He was a son of the Titan Iapetus by Clymene, one of the Oceanids. He was brother to Menoetius, Atlas, and Epimetheus. In the Theogony, Hesiod introduces Prometheus as a lowly challenger to Zeus's omniscience and omnipotence. 
 














 Fire dancing (also known as "fire twirling," "fire spinning," "fire performance," or "fire manipulation") is a group of  performances art  disciplines that involve manipulation of objects on fire . Typically these objects have one or more bundles of wicking, which are soaked in fuel and ignited.

 











 Some of these disciplines are related to juggling or baton twiring (both forms of object manipulation), and there is also an affinity between fire dancing and rhythmic gymnastic. Fire dancing is often performed to music. Fire dancing has been a traditional part of cultures from around the world, and modern fire performance often includes visual and stylistic elements from many traditions.

Prometej  u grčkoj mitologiji sin je Titana Japeta i Okeanide Klimene, Atlantov, Epimetejev i Menitijev brat; bog koji je ljudima dao vatru.

 Fire dancing is a very dangerous performance art, and fire safety precautions should always be taken.









Prometejevo ime izvedeno je od grčke reči prometheia te znači "predviđanje", "predumišljaj". Može se usporediti sa etimologijom imena njegova brata Epitemeja čije ime znači "primisao".
Po Prometeju je nazvan mesec planeta Saturna, asteroid 1809 Prometej i vulkan na Mesecu Io.
