I was just trailing through some of the other names within the annals of greek mythology and mythology in general and I came across the name P R O T E U S. There are a few versions or what it stands for. One is that he is the Son of Posidion, who was a bit of a lazy god, lounged around upon the sea shore amongst the seals! Why is anyones guess! Anyway, he had the inate ability to change shape at his own will except getting him to ever tell the truth upon a matter was an endeavour to say the least! He was also capable of fore telling the future but was reluctant to willingly do so. If he was held captive long enough by such individuals as Aristaeus and Menelaus they woul, in turn, force him to pronounce unto them the desired prophecies they sought. And yet another account, Helen of Troy was subsituted with a spirit whom went to the city of Troy in her place with the woman: Paris while at the same time the real Helen of Troy was, in turn, brought and kept safe in a cave by Hermes or in some accounts, Paris herself. There she allegedly awaited until Menelaus (her husband) returned from his time away in the city of Troy. Other accounts speak of he - P r o t e u s - as the Sea-God. As the analogy of Prometheus as the Titan God who stole fire from heaven and gave it to 'Man' and as a result was punished by Zeus for his defiant insolence was the analogy of Humans from the ship the P R O M E T H E U S attempting to aquire knowledge and technology from the 'First-Comers' to ancient Earth. And as a result in an attept to usurp the knowledge from the alien 'Gods' they, as Zeus, are going to bring their wrath to bear upon the jumped-up-little-up-starts as punishment as-well-as their just-deserts for this act of defiance. An analogy can be drawn for sequel potential with regards to the name P R O T E U S as talks of shape-shifting at will, fore-telling the future and seeking the truth from a reluctant source. All this could be written in a subtle way of tampering of technologies and manipulating the 'truth' to suit 'ones self' (human beings) or an 'orginizations self ' (The Company even?). Possibly 'F E T U S' could be the third instalment as all words have a loose similarity with 'us' tailing the end. The use of the term F e t u s plays into the whole concept of the 'birthing' of new life-forms, whether pleasant or un-pleasant, bio-engineering, DNA tampering, cloning, you name it, the list is endless in it's potential. Or the third instalment, if ever made, could be called 'C R O N O S'. C r o n o s was one of the younger, if not, the youngest of the Titans. He led a Titan revolt against the God Elders and in turn castrated Uranus, his father, and seized his throne in the final act of defiance. A warning was issued to him fore-telling that his children would, in-turn, dethrone him in a 'you reap what you sow' counter-movement against him. So as a result, he set about devoring each one of his children in succession as they were born. Z e u s was saved by Rhea whom gave to C r o n o s a large pebble to swallow that was wrapped up in babies clothes. Z e u s, thus, served-up a drink for C r o n o s of emetic potency. As a result of this act it, in turn, made C r o n o s regurgitate the pebble and thus children along with it. They re-emerged from his mouth unharmed and subsequently killed by his son Z e u s during the war of the Titans and the War of the Elder-Gods. In a second account of the outcome Z e u s, after killing his father C r o n o s, ultimately became eventual ruler of the Ilses of the Blessed and was so depicted a varing times as having three pairs of wings upon him. So all this mythology colud be laced up in a nice analogy to Humans still attempting to exceed their limits of exploration and aquire their space-faring power and dare-I-say, their eventual 'dominance' over the galaxy...

any special reason for using three separate threads to discuss the same idea?

I'm just trying to be enthusiastic for a great concept and ideas, thats all... Who would have thought we would have had a film called PROMETHEUS? Well we have so why should what I have suggested be any less of a credible or reasonable idea?

I don't know why you think anyone, in this thread is questioning the credibility of your idea, i only asked why you felt the need to repeat the same thread twice, once should be enough surely?

O.k. Windood... I hear you now. Alright... I did explain the resoning behind each titling I posted and the same text applied to each title. Some may want to go to one title thread I have posted some may like to go to another. So I was trying to keep continuity that I felt satisfied with across all my thread ideas, you know... In any case, thank you for reasoning back with me on an even level. Thank you kindly Sir... I appriciate your making the effort to reach back out to myself and my idea on fair-minded, intellectual level... Thank you again... Regards A L I E N F A N...

@ALIENFAN... 1. You did not need to start 3 threads to discuss the same topic. Its rude and tantamount to yelling at all of us. Everyone here reads and starting 3 threads to highlight different names is just plain stupid, not 'convenient'. Just put all 3 words in the same thread title and it'd be very convenient. 2. We have already discussed the Prometheus myth at great length. I think your observation is neat but this film is not about analyzing Greek mythology, its about xeno ancestory and space explorers. The myth of Prometheus, as in the basic version of it, is the most we'll see in this film. We'll see someone 'steal fire' and be punished for it, but that will be it... IF we do see the Prometheus myth in action. Don't turn into an Ushbuck. Keep it civil. No one attacked you so there is no reason to insult ANYONE on here. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they're out to get you. Build a campfire. Sing a few songs.

Poseidon was also the king of Atlantis for a time, as was Proteus. A mythical previous round of humanity that was wiped out (or destroyed themselves through genetic meddling, creating mermaids etc.) before Prometheus creates us. The Titan fathers are implied as a possible cause of Atlantis's downfall in some of the stories, and a massive flood comparable to the Judeo-Christian and Sumerian flood myths occurs when Oceanus (serving Kronos) is angered during the war against the Titans and causes the ocean to swallow Atlantis. Poseidon sits on the shores afterwards because his kingdom has been destroyed. As you noted he does not join the other gods, and his brother Zeus, on Mt.Olympus after the fall of Atlantis. In some myths he's responsible for creating the first Roman and Sicilian people, and many new islands; whereas Prometheus creates the Greeks and all other people in the myths.
