"Prometheus is the cult figure of the thinkers of Modernity. He becomes the hero of time. Napoleon, Marx, Freud, Byron, and Wilson were all fascinated by Prometheus, whom they thought to be a figure representing radical liberation. Indeed, his rebellion against the Gods is consonant with the scientific “discoveries” of the secular zones of the physical world. Prometheus is the bearer of the light of reason (ratio), of civilization, and represents progress. This trickster titan, according to Oswald Spengler, liberates technology and revokes senses of proportion. Prometheus’ gifts in the Modern era are Ford’s assembly line and Edison’s artificial light."

"In Modernity, the children of the stolen fire create the ideal humanity of their father: a spiritless, material society. The unbound titan is the unbound man left to himself as an individual. It is telling that the Rockefeller Center in New York is the site of a bronze statue of Prometheus covered with gold gilding. The light of Prometheus, his “divine” gold, and the “golden age” of the progressivists are deceitful fakes."
