PROMETHEUS

On the other hand, men are obliged to use fire, not only for other purposes but above all for the sacrifices, in order that they may be able to fill the ways with savour and to burn incense and consume meat on the altars. Indeed, I notice that you all take particular pleasure in the smoke and think it the most delightful of banquets when the savour comes up to heaven

curling about the smoke.
Iliad1, 317. This criticism, therefore, is directly opposed to your own desire. I wonder, moreover, that you havent prevented the sun from shining on men, for he is fire too, and of a far more divine and ardent sort. Do you find fault with him for dissipating your property? I have said my say. Now then, Hermes and Hephaestus, if you think I have said anything wrong take me to task and confute me, and I will plead in reply.
