Prometheans

The Prometheans look to ancient Greece, and the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, for their founding. The Chapter takes the name of Prometheus, one of the more heroic Titans who according to pagan myth braved the wrath of the Pagan Gods in order to bring fire to humanity. The Promethean Chapter honors his altruism by seeking to emulate his deeds, braving the wrath of the dominant global culture in order to keep alive the ancient ways of their motherland.

== Facts: ==
-The Prometheans concern themselves with the health and welfare of Greece, and all of her children both far and wide. 
-Ancient Athens, in Greece, is traditionally the birthplace of this most ancient of Chapters. 
-The Prometheans don't really advertise their presence much. They operate largely in the worlds of academia, social activism and politics. New recruits are often vetted by special recruiters within the Chapter before being approached. 
-Two important symbols for the Chapter are fire (obviously, since Prometheus was most famous for stealing fire to give to early humanity) and the Owl (referencing the Greek goddess Athena, patroness of wisdom and warriors). 
-Backgrounds in Greek language, culture and Classical Studies are highly favored by the Chapter. 
-The days of Greek city-states is long gone, but the Chapter still watches over the lands of Greece. Recently, the economic collapse that struck their tiny nation has hit the Chapter hard and they are still trying to dig their people out of that particularly nasty pit. Talk of leaving the European Union, and breaking ties with the Althing League and United States of Europe, have also been circulating within the Chapter. 
== Prometheus: ==
The Chapter is founded on a body of lore known as the Promethean Myths. The Promethean Myths are a collection of fables and stories starring the eponymous character of Prometheus as a hero for the whole human race. These stories are not meant to be historical or literal, they are figurative stories used to convey important philosophical truths. Members of the Chapter are expected to know them by heart.
