Abstract

This essay attempts to draft a "dialog" between Prometheus and his pre-conceptual figuration of necessity (Anánkê, Moîra) in order to point the features that brings him closer to the presocratic philosophers. At first, it points Prometheus as a "sage" according to Aeschylus, and the sort of his knowledge -soothsayer and prophet, connoisseur of the physical description of the world throughout a very similar knowledge to anaximander's and Hecataios' as hístories; owner of teh wisdom of anánkê as a global link that brings together human and divine, hidden and patent world, and produces the achievement of kósmos understood as a globality. From this knowledge of the All, the essay points the connection between the features of Prometheus' anánkê and the belief of justice in Greek thought on some archaic texts, and how Greek "being" can be understood as a frame of achievement and relationship based on a concrete nómos, that is, on a specific cosmic and a-legal kind of justice.
