| ''Prometheus, an icon of logos, is a wounded anthropomorphic body – »He hangs... an open wound, immortal«. But living bodies have this marvellous power, they cicatrize. And the metaphor of the wounded body feeds the hope of one day healing up the wound opened by speech, of sometime bridging the gap of language. That is the old pagan myth of Prometheus, whose liver is daily eaten by the eagle of Zeus, but heals up every night. And this is one major difference with Christ, who may have been resurrected from the dead, but never really recovered from his wounds.''-earth-moon.org
Thank god I am not christ as I'd rather quiver in my own mortality.
