Prometheus -- Formed mortal men from clay and water. Athene breathed

punished him by having him chained to a pillar where a greedy vulture
tore at his liver all day. Every night, in the cruel frost and cold,
his liver would grow back again.

often given policing duties.

Sisyphus -- He told Asopus, the river god, about the abduction of his
daughter Aegina by Zeus. Asopus awarded him with a perennial spring in
Corinth, and Zeus sentenced him to death. Sisyphus conned Hades into
handcuffing himself, and for some days nobody could die. After Ares
released Hades, Sisyphus escaped Tartarus once again by deceiving
Persephone. For his deceptions and life of robbery, he was sentenced
to roll a large stone over the brow of a hill. Each time he gets close
to the top, the stone rolls down again and Sisyphus must start over.

themselves" and to question all knowledge.

Sparti -- ("Sown Men") One of the men who arose when the teeth of the

by way of compensation.

Tenes -- Son of Cycnus and Procleia. He was cast adrift on the ocean
by Cycnus after his stepmother falsely accused him of violating her.
He landed at Tenedos which he later ruled. Tenes was an ally of nearby
Troy.

Virgil -- Roman historian. Wrote "Yield not to disasters, but press
onward the more bravely."

ARTIST'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to thank my wife, Cindy, for her patience and many helpfu
criticisms, the students of Sunflower School for hours of freely given
testing, and the historians from many ages who have preserved the
richness of Greek mythology for us -- especially Robert Graves, who
has been my primary inspiration.
