>If I understand correctly, you think that because Prometheus and Odin had different motivations, that discounts the importance of the act. It doesn't.Imagine this knowledge as an apple. Odin sets out to find an apple tree, climbs it, grabs an apple, and once he has it, he eats it. Turns out a worm in the apple gives him a parasite that causes him to lose his eye. That's his sacrifice. Prometheus finds a forbidden tree, climbs it, grabs an apple, and cut it into slices for all, and is punished for stealing that apple and freely giving it away.
I'm not trying to discount either of them, they both set out on a quest for an apple, but they chose to do very different things with that apple.
If you're at the start of a journey seeking that apple, then yes, they both have very much in common, they are both knowledge seekers. But once you have that apple in your hand, you will realize you have a choice to make on what to do with that apple, and THAT is the difference between Odin and Prometheus.
