In Dragon Age II, player character Hawke's family history hinges around this trope. Between what is revealed in the game itself and what can be learned from The World of Thedas, Hawke's parents Malcolm and Leandra met when he was a mercenary and she was a young noblewoman engaged to another man. After she got pregnant, they married secretly, and ultimately she was disowned by her parents. Hawke was born a few months later, and then their twin siblings Carver and Bethany a few years after that.

Bayonetta: The title character is the result of a forbidden union between the Umbra Witch Rosa and the Lumen Sage Balder. Her mother eternally imprisoned and her father exiled, she was forbidden from learning the dark arts of her mother's people. Claudian, In Rufinum: "sic rex ad prima tumebat Maeonius, pulchro cum verteret omnia tactu; sed postquam riguisse dapes fulvamque revinctos in glaciem vidit latices, tum munus acerbum sensit et inviso votum damnavit in auro." Prometheus finally makes an appearance in Athenian playwright Aristophanes's comedy The Birds, where he is seen living on Mount Olympus after the end of his long torture, apparently having reconciled with the other gods. He is presented not as the dauntless rebel who questioned Zeus, but rather as a timid god who goes to negotiate with the titular Birds disguised, so that Zeus will not notice him talking to the enemy.

A Season 8 episode featured another Witch-Whitelighter hybrid named Simon Marks, who is notably a year older than Paige. It is implied that Whitelighter-Witches were more common than anyone thought, but they were forced to keep their existence hidden until Paige was needed to recreate the Power of Three. Another King Midas ruled Phrygia in the late 8th century BC. Most historians believe this Midas is the same person as the Mita, called king of the Mushki in Assyrian texts, who warred with Assyria and its Anatolian provinces during the same period. [3] A third Midas is said by Herodotus to have been a member of the royal house of Phrygia in the 6th century BC. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, this is the history of Fairbanks, a good man in the Emerald Graves who can be recruited as an agent for the Inquisition. His mother was a noblewoman, who fell in love with a soldier in the service of her father's archenemy. The soldier was killed, and the noblewoman's father threw his pregnant daughter out of the house; she died in childbirth, but Fairbanks survived thanks to the efforts of the woman who assisted with the birth. On his deathbed, the noble regretted his actions and bequeathed his fortune to his daughter (not knowing she had already died) and her offspring. An optional side quest allows the Inquisitor to find the proof of Fairbanks's lineage and restore him to his inheritance.Cassie, from Edward Or Ford's Gravity Falls Unexpected Fan Fiction AU, is this as the daughter of Dipper and Mabel. Guess why. Using a similar interpretation to that of Boccaccio, Marsilio Ficino in the fifteenth century updated the philosophical and more sombre reception of the Prometheus myth not seen since the time of Plotinus. In his book written in 1476–77 titled Quaestiones Quinque de Mente, Ficino indicates his preference for reading the Prometheus myth as an image of the human soul seeking to obtain supreme truth. As Raggio summarises Ficino's text, "The torture of Prometheus is the torment brought by reason itself to man, who is made by it many times more unhappy than the brutes. It is after having stolen one beam of the celestial light [...] that the soul feels as if fastened by chains and [...] only death can release her bonds and carry her to the source of all knowledge." [80] This sombreness of attitude in Ficino's text would be further developed later by Charles de Bouelles' Liber de Sapiente of 1509 which presented a mix of both scholastic and Neoplatonic ideas. A French Village: Kurt and Lucienne's child, due to him being a soldier in the German occupation, while she's French (people view such relationships very dimly). The larger scope of Aeschylus as a dramatist revisiting the myth of Prometheus in the age of Athenian prominence has been discussed by William Lynch. [31] Lynch's general thesis concerns the rise of humanist and secular tendencies in Athenian culture and society which required the growth and expansion of the mythological and religious tradition as acquired from the most ancient sources of the myth stemming from Hesiod. For Lynch, modern scholarship is hampered by not having the full trilogy of Prometheus by Aeschylus, the last two parts of which have been lost to antiquity. Significantly, Lynch further comments that although the Prometheus trilogy is not available, the Orestia trilogy by Aeschylus remains available and may be assumed to provide significant insight into the overall structural intentions which may be ascribed to the Prometheus trilogy by Aeschylus as an author of significant consistency and exemplary dramatic erudition. [32] Prometheus Bound, perhaps the most famous treatment of the myth to be found among the Greek tragedies, is traditionally attributed to the 5th-century BC Greek tragedian Aeschylus. [30] At the centre of the drama are the results of Prometheus' theft of fire and his current punishment by Zeus. The playwright's dependence on the Hesiodic source material is clear, though Prometheus Bound also includes a number of changes to the received tradition. [b] It has been suggested by M.L. West that these changes may derive from the now lost epic Titanomachy. [29]

Works of classical music, opera, and ballet directly or indirectly inspired by the myth of Prometheus have included renderings by some of the major composers of both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In this tradition, the orchestral representation of the myth has received the most sustained attention of composers. These have included the symphonic poem by Franz Liszt titled Prometheus from 1850, among his other Symphonic Poems (No. 5, S.99). [98] Alexander Scriabin composed Prometheus: Poem of Fire, Opus 60 (1910), [99] also for orchestra. [100] In the same year Gabriel Fauré composed his three-act opera Prométhée (1910). [101] Charles-Valentin Alkan composed his Grande sonate 'Les quatre âges' (1847), with the 4th movement entitled "Prométhée enchaîné" (Prometheus Bound). [102] Beethoven composed the score to a ballet version of the myth titled The Creatures of Prometheus (1801). [103] A third Midas is said by Herodotus to have been a member of the royal house of Phrygia and the grandfather of Adrastus, son of Gordias who fled Phrygia after accidentally killing his brother and took asylum in Lydia during the reign of Croesus. Phrygia was by that time a Lydian subject. Herodotus says that Croesus regarded the Phrygian royal house as "friends" but does not mention whether the Phrygian royal house still ruled as (vassal) kings of Phrygia. [37] See also [ edit ] After the gods have moulded men and other living creatures with a mixture of clay and fire, the two brothers Epimetheus and Prometheus are called to complete the task and distribute among the newly born creatures all sorts of natural qualities. Epimetheus sets to work but, being unwise, distributes all the gifts of nature among the animals, leaving men naked and unprotected, unable to defend themselves and to survive in a hostile world. Prometheus then steals the fire of creative power from the workshop of Athena and Hephaistos and gives it to mankind. In The Merlin Trilogy, Merlin is this, as he was born from the love story between Niniane and Ambrosius. Arthur himself is one due to Adaptational Consent turning his parents' relationship into a consensual affair.In Greek mythology, Prometheus ( / p r ə ˈ m iː θ i ə s/; Ancient Greek: Προμηθεύς, [promɛːtʰéu̯s], possibly meaning " forethought") [1] is sometimes referred to as the God of Fire. [2] Prometheus is best known for defying the Olympian gods by stealing fire from them and giving it to humanity in the form of technology, knowledge, and more generally, civilization. Luke and Leia of Star Wars are the children of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, who married each other in secret due to Anakin being a Jedi, who are forbidden to have romantic attachments under the old Republic. Anakin's love for his wife is what caused his Start of Darkness, and his love for his son is what causes his return to the Light. Ophelia: Ophelia's daughter with Hamlet, as they were forced to keep their romance (then marriage) a secret because of her common-born status. Sadly, Hamlet never gets to see her. Writing in late antiquity of the fourth and fifth century, the Latin commentator Marcus Servius Honoratus explained that Prometheus was so named because he was a man of great foresight (vir prudentissimus), possessing the abstract quality of providentia, the Latin equivalent of Greek promētheia ( ἀπὸ τής πρόμηθείας). [77] Anecdotally, the Roman fabulist Phaedrus (c.15 BC – c.50 AD) attributes to Aesop a simple etiology for homosexuality, in Prometheus' getting drunk while creating the first humans and misapplying the genitalia.
