In Nietzsche, the will to power is turned from the will to dominate another to the will to dominate oneself.

Monologue XXXII: An introduction into Nietzsche’s philosophy of the Ubermensch
The philosophy of the Ubermensch is not one of lawlessness, meaninglessness, and hedonism. Nor is it of mindless display of brute force. Far from either, the philosophy is one that invokes a higher type of being beyond the confines of the all too many. It is calling for a free spirit seldom seen. Noble and strong in mind and instinct, it is calling for the liberation of man’s nature that which the lesser man reaches for in vain by way of ideals.
Now this redemption of one’s naturalism is a motif that runs throughout his work, first politically in works like beyond good and evil then later almost esoterically in works like thus spoke Zarathustra. Nevertheless, it is only a first step.
Yes! The “barbarian” ranks infinitely higher than the weakling. But infinitely lower than Ubermensch. In any case, this barbarian is noteworthy because we can, on the one hand, recognize in him a childlike joy that accompanies discharge of strength; but also the mere lowliness of pure nihilistic terrorism as seen in the works of American Psycho.
Thus, the Ubermensch is calling for a refined possession and at times, expression of strength. And not just of strength, but also of one self. Where typical moral codes and conduct preach for castration of the passions and extirpation of the animal, for Nietzsche the first step is returning to this “savage” and “primitive” point.
Nietzschean Nobility, then, implies refining this aspect that has been for so long, repressed by civilizations. Passion and frenzy – with decisive rationality as the impetus, that is the crux of the matter here.
Prometheus may have been punished, but man will always have fire. As Goethe seemed to say in Prometheus, neither titan nor god can touch man now; all are effectively equals under Time and Fate. Perhaps the lesson is not to never play with fire but to not get burned.
And of course, Solar virtue is the means to cultivating the ideal form of fire, which destroys all that is not pure. If one is careful, wielding it will burn away one's impurities; if not, one will be totally destroyed.

"Hear me, bright children of Earth and Heaven, that I may say what my heart within me bids. A long while now have we, who are sprung from Cronos and the Titan gods, fought with each other every day to get victory and to prevail. But do you show your great might and unconquerable strength, and face the Titans in bitter strife; for remember our friendly kindness, and from what sufferings you are come back to the light from your cruel bondage under misty gloom through our counsels.'
So he said. And blameless Cottus answered him again: Divine one, you speak that which we know well: nay, even of ourselves we know that your wisdom and understanding is exceeding, and that you became a defender of the deathless ones from chill doom. And through your devising we are come back again from the murky gloom and from our merciless bonds, enjoying what we looked not for, O lord, son of Cronos. And so now with fixed purpose and deliberate counsel we will aid your power in dreadful strife and will fight against the Titans in hard battle.'
So he said: and the gods, givers of good things, applauded when they heard his word, and their spirit longed for war even more than before, and they all, both male and female, stirred up hated battle that day, the Titan gods, and all that were born of Cronos together with those dread, mighty ones of overwhelming strength whom Zeus brought up to the light from Erebus beneath the earth. An hundred arms sprang from the shoulders of all alike, and each had fifty heads growing upon his shoulders upon stout limbs. These, then, stood against the Titans in grim strife, holding huge rocks in their strong hands. And on the other part the Titans eagerly strengthened their ranks, and both sides at one time showed the work of their hands and their might. The boundless sea rang terribly around, and the earth crashed loudly: wide Heaven was shaken and groaned, and high Olympus reeled from its foundation under the charge of the undying gods, and a heavy quaking reached dim Tartarus and the deep sound of their feet in the fearful onset and of their hard missiles. So, then, they launched their grievous shafts upon one another, and the cry of both armies as they shouted reached to starry heaven; and they met together with a great battle-cry."
- Hesiod, Theogony

"Then Zeus no longer held back his might; but straight his heart was filled with fury and he showed forth all his strength. From Heaven and from Olympus he came forthwith, hurling his lightning: the bold flew thick and fast from his strong hand together with thunder and lightning, whirling an awesome flame. The life-giving earth crashed around in burning, and the vast wood crackled loud with fire all about. All the land seethed, and Ocean's streams and the unfruitful sea. The hot vapour lapped round the earthborn Titans: flame unspeakable rose to the bright upper air: the flashing glare of the thunder- stone and lightning blinded their eyes for all that there were strong. Astounding heat seized Chaos: and to see with eyes and to hear the sound with ears it seemed even as if Earth and wide Heaven above came together; for such a mighty crash would have arisen if Earth were being hurled to ruin, and Heaven from on high were hurling her down; so great a crash was there while the gods were meeting together in strife. Also the winds brought rumbling earthquake and duststorm, thunder and lightning and the lurid thunderbolt, which are the shafts of great Zeus, and carried the clangour and the warcry into the midst of the two hosts. An horrible uproar of terrible strife arose: mighty deeds were shown and the battle inclined. But until then, they kept at one another and fought continually in cruel war.
And amongst the foremost Cottus and Briareos and Gyes insatiate for war raised fierce fighting: three hundred rocks, one upon another, they launched from their strong hands and overshadowed the Titans with their missiles, and buried them beneath the wide-pathed earth, and bound them in bitter chains when they had conquered them by their strength for all their great spirit, as far beneath the earth to Tartarus. For a brazen anvil falling down from heaven nine nights and days would reach the earth upon the tenth: and again, a brazen anvil falling from earth nine nights and days would reach Tartarus upon the tenth. Round it runs a fence of bronze, and night spreads in triple line all about it like a neck-circlet, while above grow the roots of the earth and unfruitful sea. There by the counsel of Zeus who drives the clouds the Titan gods are hidden under misty gloom, in a dank place where are the ends of the huge earth. And they may not go out; for Poseidon fixed gates of bronze upon it, and a wall runs all round it on every side. There Gyes and Cottus and great-souled Obriareus live, trusty warders of Zeus who holds the aegis.
And there, all in their order, are the sources and ends of gloomy earth and misty Tartarus and the unfruitful sea and starry heaven, loathsome and dank, which even the gods abhor."

"Let a man contemplate God's unspeakable hiddenness. He is hidden in all things. To everything He is nearer than it is to it selt. He is in the depths of the soul, hidden there from all sense and unknown. Hide thyself away in this hiddenness of God, away from all creatures and all that is alien to essential being. But this does not take place by the way of images and forms in the mind; no, nor by the use of the understanding, but in an essential way, all the soul's powers and aspirations being lifted above the, life of sense into the way of perception."

This is a very profound article and is better to read all of it. This is how it ends:
To these already lengthy remarks we will add but one thing further: it follows from what we have just been saying that the accomplishment of the cycle, as we have envisaged it, should have a certain correlation, in the historical order, with the meeting of the two traditional forms which correspond to its beginning and its end, and which have Sanskrit and Arabic respectively for their sacred languages: the Hindu tradition, on the one hand, inasmuch as it represents the most direct heritage of the Primordial Tradition, and, on the other hand, the Islamic tradition which, as the “Seal of Prophecy”, represents the ultimate form of traditional orthodoxy for the present cycle.

“Although we wish to refrain from anything that may smack of 'prophecies', these words of Joseph de Maistre, even truer today than a century ago, are most fitting to conclude with: 'We must be ready for an immense event in the divine order which we are travelling towards with an accelerated speed that must astound all those who watch. Awesome oracles have pronounced already that the time is now.'” - Rene Guenon, King of the World, pp. 66-67

I know that I hung on that windy Tree
nine whole days and nights,
stabbed with a spear, offered to Odin,
myself to my own self given,
high on that Tree of which none have heard
from what roots it rises to heaven.
None refreshed me ever with food or drink,
I peered right down in the deep;
crying aloud I lifted the Runes,
then back I fell from there.
Havamal 137, 138
We see a clear connection to Odins receiving the wisdom of the runes and Buddha’s awakening under the Bodhitree.
Odin hung himself on none other than Yggdrasil, the World Axis. Buddha did too.
