Artwork description

Epimeteo agota el tiempo
Ejemplar único
Acero soldado forjado
20x20x35

En el Protágoras, cuenta Platón cómo Epimeteo, hermano de Prometeo, solicita a los dioses dotar a los animales y a la raza de los humanos recién creadas de las propiedades y defensas para que puedan habitar y subsistir en la tierra. Epimeteo se entretiene distribuyendo las cualidades entre los animales: velocidad, defensas, alas, tamaño, etc; pero se olvida del hombre. Cuando ya no queda tiempo debe ejercer su poder Prometeo, el alfarero que, robando el fuego a los dioses del Olimpo, Hefesto y Atenea, se lo otorga los humanos, entregándoles con ello la herramienta principal del Arte: el fuego que funde los metales y que cuece la terracota.
