The Prometheus Award is an award for libertarianscience fiction novels given out annually by the Libertarian Futurist Society (which also publishes a quarterly journal, Prometheus). The award was founded in 1979 by L. Neil Smith, but was not awarded regularly until the newly-founded Libertarian Futurist Society revived it in 1982. A Hall of Fame Award (for classic works of libertarian science fiction, not necessarily novels) was created in 1983, and the Society also presents occasional one-off awards.
Prometheus was a son of Iapetus by Clymene (one of the Oceanids).
Prometheus was suspicious and would have nothing to do with Pandora, claiming that she was foolish (lacking foresight), and she was sent on to Epimetheus, who married her.
In mythography, Prometheus may be classed among the trickster gods, such as Loki in Norse mythology Like Prometheus, Loki is a giant rather than a god, is associated with fire, and is punished by being chained to a rock and tormented by an animal (a viper dripping venom on him).
