Abstract  

The present paper examines the understanding of the Prometheus figure in three works of Goethe. In the unfinished drama Prometheus (and the poem belonging to it) Prometheus is not only the great rebel against dogmatic religiosity and an autonomous creator in the sense of Shaftsbury, but even more a Kulturbringer as Rousseau outlined the development of culture. In Dichtung und Wahrheit Goethe re-interprets his own previous interpretation: Prometheus is the solitary and isolated artist. Finally in his similarly unfinished drama Pandora Prometheus is like a modern industrialist, he is led only by practical motives and has no sense for beauties.
