An image depicting Prometheus bound by chains to a rugged, desolate rock face. A large eagle will be shown with its sharp beak tearing at Prometheus's liver, conveying his eternal suffering. Prometheus's expression will be one of anguish and defiance against the torment. The overall color palette will be stark and dramatic, emphasizing the harshness of his punishment.

Jaegyum: "Wow, Jaeyi! Prometheus was so brave, right? He gave fire to humans even though Zeus was angry!"

Jaeyi: "Yeah! But why did Zeus punish him? It wasn’t fair…"

Jaegyum: "Because Zeus wanted humans to stay weak. But Prometheus loved humans. He was kind, like a hero!"

Jaeyi: "Mmm… Do you think Steve Jobs was like Prometheus?"

Jaegyum: "Oh! From the story we read? Maybe! He also gave something new—like the iPhone—to people!"

Jaeyi: "But Prometheus got punished. Steve Jobs became famous! Different, right?"

Jaegyum: laughs "True! But both changed the world. That’s cool!"

Jaeyi: "Next time, I want to be brave like them!"
