Prometheus - trickster, rebel and hero - links the realm of the gods with the world of humanity, with which he had such close affinity. His act of stealing fire has been viewed as the foundation of all man's technologies.

Prometheus heretofore went up to Heaven, and stole fire from thence. Have not I as much Boldness as he?

There are some moments that are pretty distressing in 'Prometheus.' In fact, the last hour is pretty distressing.

Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus' is a magnificent science-fiction film, all the more intriguing because it raises questions about the origin of human life and doesn't have the answers.

'Prometheus' was a great experience for me.

I love so-called movies that are bad movies, but 'Prometheus' is one of those movies that people are gonna come back around on in 20 years. There's gonna be midnight screenings of that thing.

Google the name Prometheus, and see how often it has been given to innovations in many different fields, notably science, medicine and space exploration. The fire he stole can be seen, too, as the spark generating all artistic creativity.

Doing 'Prometheus' was what you imagine being an actor is like when you're five. In a spacesuit, on another planet, getting killed by an alien. It was a real treat; it felt like being a part of movie history.

For 'Prometheus,' I came back to a very simple question that haunted me that appears in the first 'Alien,' and no one answered in subsequent Alien films: who was the 'Space Jockey' - the big guy in the seat? If you really go into that, it becomes the basis for a pretty interesting story.

A heroic nature is very Greek.
