Summary
Traitors of Olympus are many. Shame Incarnate herself collects her dues. How else to condemn the immortal than to tear their pride apart?
Aeschyne, Shame Incarnate, is the daughter of Prometheus. By stealing fire, the Titan widowed her mother, orphaned her brother, and destroyed the Golden Age. To think that Prometheus wages war against Olympus, the Gods who took in his abandoned family. To think he wants a world without Gods, a world of anarchy. And so, Aeschyne shall do unto Prometheus as the Gods had done to their Titan foreparents: scatter him across Tartarus.
Prometheus must stay on the mountain. The Agent of Change must be fought. And so, he must vanquish his daughter, Shame, every night. Mortals do not need Shame. Prometheus does not need to care. But the more nights pass, the more Prometheus wonders: was there nothing else he could have done for Honour, the Goddess his daughter was supposed to be?
“Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, until in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.” - Agamemnon, Aeschylus
[Or: I found out Prometheus has a daughter who is both Shame and Honour Incarnate, so I wrote this]
