The latest issue of the HAdW’s Athene magazine is dedicated to the topic “Prometheus.” The topics covered range widely, from the origins of the Prometheus myth in Greek mythology to Goethe’s famous hymn “Prometheus” and the symbol of the modern quest for freedom and mastery over nature. Art, history, philosophy, literature, prehistory and early history, physics, and many other disciplines examine the Titan from their respective perspectives. From the research projects, you’ll learn, among other things, how the return of Nepal’s written cultural heritage became an obstacle course. In addition, there are reports on the activities of the Young Academy I HAdW.
