Hesiod's was not some given entity, a concept with properties viewed as fixed throughout the times of the two poems which mention it.* Prometheus was a process, as it were, already operating in the Greek archaic period, not just in the hands of later writers such as Plato. The development between the Theogony and the Works and Days bespeaks a certain consciousness of the values underlying the mode of expression we call myth.
