Aufl. , Leipzig, 1885, S. 141. ANALYSIS OF THE PROMETHEUS SAGA 29 forth anew. Man made the same observation, however, about one other fire — namely, the heavenly. In the heavens the fire of the sun appears to him daily, warming and lighting; sometimes he saw further rays of fire descending from heaven, lighting and burning. The heavenly fire also goes out after a while. So probably there must be something in heaven that burns and goes out. According to a very ancient idea the Indo-germanic race...s beheld in the cloud formations a tree — the earthly ash which we meet again and again in the most varied myths. The wood of the ash serves man as a means of making fire. When they saw the fire of heaven there the wood of the heavenly ash was burn- ing. The lightning darting from heaven to earth was fire com- ing down from the ash. From this arose the belief that the earthly fire was fire descended from heaven. The quick move- ment of the lightning through the air called to mind the flight of birds; from this arose the further assumption, a bird, which nested in the heavenly ash has brought the heavenly fire to earth.
