There you go, so here the Ancient Greek reference is even more intricate, Prometheus is said to have stolen the fire of the gods to gift it to humans. Remember when Vulcain was inspired by the god of fire?

Well since Prometheus follows the Vulcain series, it seemed fair to follow the story, Prometheus brings a new kind of fire to Europe using new technologies such as additive manufacturing.
