			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>    I&#8217;ve been asked many times where I come up with my characters, or storylines.  Well, it&#8217;s not quite as complicated as you might imagine.  Mythology provides a wealth of possibilities for the well-read and classically versed author.  For example, take the myth of Prometheus&#8230;.</p>
<p>    Prometheus was, according to Greek mythology, one of the ancient Titans, so enamored with and impressed by humanity that he stole fire from Zeus and brought it to mankind, and then taught humanity how to heal.  For this crime (stealing from Zeus), Prometheus was condemned to be chained to a rock for all eternity, while a vulture devored his regenerating liver.</p>
<p>    Gruesome tale, yes.  But instant fodder for heroic fiction.  Prometheus endured the ultimate sacrifice &#8211; his eternal anguish and defilement &#8211; for the betterment of humanity.  What would happen if a group of humans took that credo upon themselves, to put aside their own desires, and perhaps even their lives, for the greater good?  If they swore to, like Prometheus, bring light into the darkness of the world, to suffer the chains of eternal pain in order to show others the way to freedom?</p>
<p>     *smiles* Thus was born my series, Project Prometheus.  Men and women dedicated to a greater good, regardless of the personal cost. </p>
<p>You can check out this series at <a href="http://www.esthermitchell.com/projectmain.html">http://www.esthermitchell.com/projectmain.html</a></p>
