Prometheus to Sisyphus

"PROMETHEUS BOUND"

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Peter Paul Rubens

 
Brought fire to mankind,
By deceiving Zeus.
Bound in retribution,
Born anew for retorture....
                         ~Volpini Amentum Arete Anemone

"SISYPHUS"

Museo del Prado in Madrid 

Tiziano Vecelli ("Titian")

Wisest of all mortals
Witty playfulness devolved.
Wicked deceit disciplined
Worked in vain till death. 
                         ~Volpini Amentum Arete Anemone
