Chapter 189
Side Story – Rebellion in the Underworld (3)
Prometheus.
The Titan prophet and strategist who aided us greatly during the Titanomachy.
Yet, he was also a god who loved humanity.
In the end, he defied Zeus’s decree and gifted fire to mortals, earning eternal punishment—
Bound to the cliffs of Mount Caucasus, where an eagle tore at his liver day after day.
He must hate Zeus as much as Cronus, who languishes in Tartarus.
And with his ability to foresee the future, his involvement was indispensable.
“Prophet Prometheus. As you said, I plan to rebel against Zeus and claim the throne of the gods.”
“Choosing to wear the Kynee was a wise decision. Now, let me tell you where my foolish brother, Epimetheus, can be found.”
Epimetheus.
The Titan known as “the one who thinks later,” younger brother of Prometheus, and husband of Pandora—the woman sent by Zeus.
Despite his brother’s persuasion, he had sided with us Olympians during the Titanomachy, proving to be a formidable ally.
Though slow-witted and easily deceived, he possessed strength great enough to stand against his brother Atlas.
He likely regretted marrying Pandora and harbored no love for Zeus.
“You plan to recruit Epimetheus as well?”
“Of course, but more importantly, news of my release will surely reach Zeus. We must deceive him into thinking my brother freed me.”
“So we’ll bring Epimetheus here quickly and have him destroy the remnants of Mount Caucasus?”
“Exactly. Tell me, does Zeus know of your rebellion yet?”
I nodded, and Prometheus continued without hesitation.
The Titan’s urgency was clear as he laid out his plan.
What do you think?
