Hints & Definitions

PYRPHOROS
Prometheus Pyrphoros (“Prometheus the Fire-Bringer”) was the third play in the “Prometheia“, a series of plays traditionally attributed to the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus, chronicling the trials of Prometheus, the creator and protector of man, who was imprisoned for giving man fire. It was the last play in the trilogy. Unfortunately, it, and its precursor “Prometheus Unbound” are lost. Only a single line of dialogue survives from “Prometheus Pyrphoros” which says, “Quiet, where need is; and talking to the point.” This line was preserved accidentally when it was quoted in “Noctes Atticae” by Roman scholar Aulus Gellius.

FIRE AND ICE
by Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
