But the other thing, that's sort of minorly annoying me: Why is it that people in children's fantasy books never recongize Prometheus? I mean, I've known who the chained counter-authority figure was for as long as I can remember (so definitely elementary school, probably 4th or 5th grade?) but kids much older than that totally fail to recognize him in fiction. Is this an authors underestimating their characters thing, or are most people really that clueless about basic mythology?
