I quote "GLaDOS lack of hindsight can be seen in the ending where when even after learning a leason decides to delete Caroline anyways, and Prometheus being of course the Titan of foresight."ĩ. "In Greek myth, the craftsman Daedalus invented human flight so a group of Minotaurs would stop teasing him about it."ĪND FINNALY -> "In Greek myth, Prometheus stole fire from the Gods and gave it to humankind. It was believed that the sight of naked sailors angered the sea god." "Pants were invented by sailors in the 16th century to avoid Poseidon's wrath. He's a greek philosopherĬhell falls 4200 meters into Aperture Science Innovators, same distance Prometheus fell. Mashy spike plate" "Comedy equals tragedy plus time" Aristotle wrote the second quote. If you listen to the commentary tracks for Portal 2 they explain that P-Body is always twitching to keep balanced. P-Body's defining characteristic is that he can't keep still."

Either the area was named Tartarus be Cave Johnson, or its the Tartarus testing track. If you walk around down in the bottom of the pit where Wheatly throws you, one of the taller buildings right before the enterance to Aperture Science Inovators has a sign on it saying "Tartarus" and then some numbers. While prometheus isn't thrown into tarturus, Chell was. Look it up (In some versions, however, Prometheus IS cast into tartarus. This was after he spared Prometheus from Tartarus because he hadn't fought with the titans during the titan war. To punish him, Zeus chained him to a rock and pecked by birds for eternity. Prometheus was a titan in greek mythology who made the "mistake" of giving the gift of fire to man.
