Characters/People edit
- Promethea: Promethea was a young girl whose father was killed by a Christian mob in Alexandria in AD 411. After escaping the mob, alone in the desert she is taken in hand by the god Thoth-Hermes, who tells her that if she goes with him/them into the Immateria, a plane of existence home to the imagination, she will no longer be just a little girl but a story living eternally. "Promethea" thereafter manifests through a series of individuals or vessels who through the power of imagination have channeled her energy.
Quotes edit
-
“Sure, matter's the lowest plane, furthest from existence's starting point in the pure essential working that is God. One the other hand, you could see Earth as that working's final result: It's ultimate purpose. What's important is understanding that mind and matter aren't separated. They're just different points in one system, different stops on one highway.”
-
“The snake is the spiralling DNA. Its represents all earthly life. The moonlit woman is all dream and fantasy. Do you see, Sophie? It's a wonderful dance between the flesh and the imagination...”
First Sentence edit
