Prometheia is the annual festival modern Hellenic polytheists hold at Mount Olympus, honouring Prometheus, the Titan who in Greek myth brought fire to humanity. It is one of the clearest examples of Hellenismos organising a public, dated observance at a site the tradition also treats as sacred in its own right, rather than practising only in private household worship.
