We are told that Prometheus can only be set free through the intervention of an initiate. And such an initiate was the Greek Heracles; Heracles who performed the twelve labours. The enactment of these labours is the achievement of an initiate. They are the symbolic representation of the twelve tests which have to be performed by someone undergoing initiation. In addition, it is said that Heracles underwent initiation in the Eleusinian mysteries. He was able to rescue Prometheus. Someone else had to sacrifice himself, however, and the Centaur Chiron did this for Prometheus. He was suffering from an incurable illness. He was half beast and half man. He suffered death and thereby released Prometheus. That is the outer form of the Prometheus saga.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.

Es sind die zwölf Initiationsprüfungen, symbolisch ausgedrückt. Außerdem wird von Herakles gesagt, daß er sich in die Eleusinischen Mysterien habe einweihen lassen. Er vermag Prometheus zu retten.
