PROMETHEUS

On the contrary, that my creation has been actually of service to the gods you will learn if you notice that the whole earth is no longer barren and unbeautiful but adorned with cities and tilled lands and cultivated plants, that the sea is sailed and the islands are inhabited, and that everywhere there are altars and sacrifices, temples and festivals,

and full of God are all the streets
And all the marts of men.
Aratus, Phaenomena2-3.
v.2.p.259
If I had made men to keep just for myself, I should be selfish, no doubt; but as the case stands I have contributed them to the general fund for your benefit. In fact, there are temples to Zeus, to Apollo, to Hera and to you, Hermes, in sight everywhere, but nowhere any to Prometheus. You see how I look out for my own interests, but betray and injure those of the community!
