The Promethean and Atlatean: terribly abused and misused words

“Prometheus is no more an Aryan figure than Captain America, Jesus Christ, Woody Allen or Benjamin Netanyahu.”

While on the subject of Fire Gods, it is worth briefly elucidating something here so as to eliminate an embarrassing and discrediting misuse of language.  The term Promethean and the figure of Prometheus have been greatly abused in “right-wing” circles. This is worth addressing as we hold symbolism and its attendant JEM (Jewish Esoteric Moralization) or AIM (Apollonian Inner Moralization) as critically important.   Let no one speak on the topic of Art, Religion or Culture if he believes otherwise.

First it must be said the Fire God Prometheus is clearly a Semitic figure, closely related to the Jewish God of Genesis.

Granted, it is true Prometheus, like the Jewish God of Genesis, is inspired, at least in part, by the Aryan water God Enki.  Indeed, like the Jewish God of Genesis, both Enki and Prometheus craft the first man out of the earth.  Both, likewise, assist Noachian figures survive floods sent by angry Chieftain Gods.

During the second millennium BC, Enki was sometimes referred to by the numeric ideogram for “40”, a “sacred number”. This number is also used in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament as JEM to esoterically reference the pagan figure of Enki.

For instance, during the flood in Genesis, “Rain fell for forty days and forty nights.” [1] During Exodus, Moses visited mount Sinai three times for “forty days and forty nights”. [2] Prior to being tempted by the devil, Christ fasts in the wilderness for “forty days and forty nights”.

The first two examples more clearly indicate the reference is to Enki.  The forty days of rain fall during the flood.  Again, in the Mesopotamian myth Enki is a water God.  Yet there he also plays the role of assisting the Noachian Atrahasis.  There he instructs him to build a boat to survive a deluge sent by the Semitic God Enlil.  In the Greek mythology, where Prometheus becomes a reference to the earlier Enki, the boat becomes a chest or ark.  This study explicates how Noah’s Ark is, first and foremost, a reference to a chest, and a boat.

The forty days and forty nights atop mount Sinai also are clearly a reference to Enki.  After all, it is at mount Sinai that the Ark of the Covenant is built.  This Ark is a symbolic synonym of Noah’s Ark, Deucalion Ark, Adonis’ Ark, Moses’ Ark of Bulrushes and Sargon’s Ark of Bulrushes.

Likewise, the forty days and forty nights of Christ’s fasting that appear in the Bible are also a reference to Enki and the flood, if more obliquely.  Here it is important to understand that this episode directly follows Christ’s baptism where he is visited by the Holy spirit in the form of a dove.  This Holy spirit and dove are references to the Aryan figures of Venus and/or Psyche.

This baptism is also a reference to the rain or deluge-causing castration of Caelus by Saturn.  Here we understand that this same spirit leads Christ into the wilderness to be tempted by the “devil” who in this context is Aryan.  With Christ’s temptation in the wilderness, we find a period of sexual and racial degeneracy where a Jew is tempted to either hold or abandon his identity, despite a necessary, “purifying” admixture. In any case, the official Jewish explanation, that the number 40 is essentially some equivalent of “umpteenth times”, is of course, absurd.  Instead, it is certainly a reference to Enki.

Regarding the related deity of Prometheus himself, the sources tell us, in many cases, the Titaness Asia is either Prometheus’ mother or, in one case, his wife. The name Asia here should be regarded as no less significant than the name of Jupiter’s famous lover Europa. Indeed, Herodotus confirms that the continent Asia was named for the Titaness of the same name.  To wit, in the classical world, Asia means the Near East.  Hence, obviously, by this alone, he is suggested as a Semitic figure.

Hesiod, for his part, appraises Prometheus as a lowly trickster and clear antagonist of Jupiter.  We are obliged to take a similar view.  Prometheus shares much in common with both Mercury and Vulcan.  Like Vulcan, he’s a fire god and craftsman. Like Mercury, he is a trickster and thief.  In some sense, the comparison might be stronger with Mercury.  Both figures are understood as “teachers” or apostles of men.  Both are understood as benefactors of “mortals.” Both are bringers of the gift of fire.  Both are strongly connected to language and speech.  Yet his connection to Vulcan is also strong.  As this study mentions, Prometheus and Vulcan are co-authors of mortals, Prometheus forming man, Vulcan forming woman.  Both become antagonists to Jupiter for breaches of fealty.  Both are expelled or punished.

In Aeschylus’ Prometheus Unbound, Prometheus is chained to a rock in the Caucasus mountains by the beings “Authority” (Kratos), “Violence” (Bia), and Vulcan under Jupiter’s order.  The moralizing and simplifying tone is familiar.  Doubtlessly it is the “Authoritarianism” and “Violence” of Aryans, persecuting “Democratic” and “Nonviolent” Jews or proto-Jews.  We are forced to wonder if Theodor W. Adorno was consulted on the play. Tellingly the play depicts Vulcan as a reluctant imprisoner, something of a “Kapo”.

In Hesiod’s Theogony, Prometheus, negotiating for “man’s” rights, places two sacrifices before Jupiter.  The goal was to apportion what man would be allowed to keep and what he would be required to sacrifice to the Gods.  One of the sacrifices was a grotesque looking cow’s stomach containing a prime morsel of beef.  The other sacrifice was the bull’s bones, wrapped in “glistening fat”, so that it only appeared a succulent feast. Jupiter, of course, chose the sacrifice that looked appealing.

It proved, of course, inedible. History recounts plainly the consistent reluctance Jews have shown to propitiating the Gods of Rome and Greece, especially the Aryan Jupiter, who is a primary symbol of Aryan dominance and continuance.  Hence Prometheus is simply an early mythologized example of Jewish recalcitrance in the Greek context.   Here, at least in an original conception, citizenship or even occupancy is very reasonably and generously predicated on support, respect, deference and subservience to the reigning Aryan “master race” as represented by Jupiter.

When one considers that “Antisemitism,” even before “racism”, is the quickest way to be made persona non grata, fired by employers, de-platformed, killed by Communist agitators and in some countries arrested, one understands that the situation today is no different, except that it is the Jewish God, to the extent Christianity or Islam persists, or, more commonly, simply Jews themselves, that are propitiated.  The “invisible God” Pluto, who people feared to even mention, does not need idols to be worshipped nor literal kneeling to rule.  Jupiter on the other hand is more honest.

In the context of our broader discussion, with Prometheus’ offerings, we find a metaphor we can apply to the “offerings” of Jewish esoteric myth-makers vis-à-vis their Aryan founded nation.  Superman and Captain American, for instance, are ostensibly proud, strong, even nationalistic Apollonian figures.  Appealing exteriors to be sure and hence “offerings” ostensibly designed to honor Americans and implicitly its founding stock.  Bite into the meat though and you understand that this is JEM – parables designed to embolden Jews and demoralize and morally direct Aryans to Jewish ends.

As for Prometheus’ inventiveness and “great knowledge”, we should remember, Prometheus stole the gift of fire and creation from the Gods.  Here as well we understand him as not merely taking knowledge but taking blood.  Here, via a phallic fennel stalk, he takes fire from the sun, from the blood of Apollo or Helios.  Hence to the extent Prometheus becomes a God of intelligence, learning, knowledge or cleverness, this is entirely a function of the “Aryan Brain Drain.”

Prometheus stolen fire should be understood as synonymous with Vesta’s fire, Trivia’s torch and the torch of all the followers of Bacchus and Pluto, including Bacchus himself.  With the torch, we find the distinction between earthly, nocturnal fire, the secret, thieving “eugenics” of the Semite and the solar and diurnal fire of Apollo, the public, brightly shining and admitted eugenics of the Aryan.  Again, the “torch” or brilliance of the Semite is in its origin Aryan.  Yet it is with this brilliance, this careful and purposeful admixture that he, as Bacchus, endeavors to lead Aryans into the underworld away from the celestial fire of Apollo.  But now that the sun of Apollo has risen again, these dim torches offer scant temptation.

In any case, Prometheus is no more an Aryan figure than Captain America, Jesus Christ, Woody Allen or Benjamin Netanyahu.  If one needs a revolutionary, travailing symbol to inspire, one should consider Jupiter’s overthrow of the Jewish Saturn definitive.  He should substitute the word Jovial for the word Promethean.  Indeed, that one is joyful in his ascent —and not dour, suffering and pitiable— does not make him less serious only several times more successful.  One only looks absurd with the furrowed brow and suffering mien.  Regardless, to ask the most basic question regarding Prometheus, why would anyone ever honor an antagonist of the Aryan king of Gods, Jupiter?  One assumes those punished or expelled by Jupiter, the God of Justice, are punished or expelled for good reason.

Atlas, for his part, another popular figure in esotericism, is yet one of multiple punished Titians, symbolizing the vassalage of a defeated, Semitized nation. His name may mean “enduring” or “mountain.” With the first possible name meaning he may be understood as a symbol of Jewish or Semitic abidance as appears in the symbol of the stone.  The second possible meaning is more straightforward.  He is a mountain, earth god, like Yahweh vis-à-vis the celestial Aryan Gods Jupiter and Apollo.

As Prometheus, Atlas is indicated a son of the Titaness Asia.  More evidence verifying Atlas’ Semitic identity is his role as father of the Pleiades whom were classed as Oreads, earthly, mountain nymphs and Semitic figures.  Of them Maia, mother of Mercury, is next to Trivia as a kind of mythic, magical Jewess, though, in her case, more closely related to motherhood.  That Atlas shrugged is meaningless as we all now know.  All that is meaningful is that Jupiter overthrows and Apollo returns.   Use this word Promethean correctly or rid it from your vocabulary.
