I thought “How is that Promethean-Lovecraftian? What is Promethean? I think I’ve got a reasonable idea what Lovecraftian literature is.”
I figure that ‘Promethean’ relates to literature in the same genre as ‘Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus’ with a dangerous created being (thanks, Wikipedia), and Lovecraftian literature contains beings where to understand them or their motivations causes madness—which seems to cover it.
Bit of a jump from the penultimate to the final sentence I think, but I figure you earned an upvote for provoking thought.
