"It shall be your name," said the Golden One. IT SHALL BE YOUR NAME SAID THE GOLDEN ONE
 pity for all mankind. I understood the blessed thing which I had called my curse. I understood why the best in me had been my sins and my transgressions; and why I had never felt guilt in my sins. I understood that centuries of chains and lashes will not kill the spirit of man nor the sense of truth within him. I read many books for many days. Then I called the Golden One, and I told her what I had read and what I had learned. She looked at me and the first words she spoke were: “I love you.” Then I said: “My dearest one, it is not proper for men to be without names. There was a time when each man had a name of his own to distinguish him from all other men. So let us choose our names. I have read of a man who lived many thousands of years ago, and of all the names in these books, his is the one I wish to bear. He took the light of the gods and he brought it to men, and he taught men to be gods. And he suffered for his deed as all bearers of light must suffer. His name was Prometheus.”  I WEPT IN DELIVERANCE AND IN PITY FOR ALL MANKIND I UNDERSTOOD THE BLESSED THING WHICH I HAD CALLED MY CURSE I UNDERSTOOD WHY THE BEST IN ME HAD BEEN MY SINS AND MY TRANSGRESSIONS AND WHY I HAD NEVER FELT GUILT IN MY SINS I UNDERSTOOD THAT CENTURIES OF CHAINS AND LASHES WILL NOT KILL THE SPIRIT OF MAN NOR THE SENSE OF TRUTH WITHIN HIM I READ MANY BOOKS FOR MANY DAYS THEN I CALLED THE GOLDEN ONE AND I TOLD HER WHAT I HAD READ AND WHAT I HAD LEARNED SHE LOOKED AT ME AND THE FIRST WORDS SHE SPOKE WERE I LOVE YOU THEN I SAID MY DEAREST ONE IT IS NOT PROPER FOR MEN TO BE WITHOUT NAMES THERE WAS A TIME WHEN EACH MAN HAD A NAME OF HIS OWN TO DISTINGUISH HIM FROM ALL OTHER MEN SO LET US CHOOSE OUR NAMES I HAVE READ OF A MAN WHO LIVED MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO AND OF ALL THE NAMES IN THESE BOOKS HIS IS THE ONE I WISH TO BEAR HE TOOK THE LIGHT OF THE GODS AND BROUGHT IT TO MEN AND HE TAUGHT MEN TO BE GODS AND HE SUFFERED FOR HIS DEED AS ALL BEARERS OF LIGHT MUST SUFFER HIS NAME WAS PROMETHEUS
