- Prometheus; provident one
Meaning
Kronos receives the lower-case printed address προμηθεῦ at XIII.7, while the English renders the name “Prometheus.” Both a naming interpretation and the lexical association with forethought are available. The line should retain that tension rather than silently capitalizing the Greek or declaring a fully settled identity equation.
