    By writing this paper, I will illustrate the parallels between the famous Rockefeller family—specifically J.D. Rockefeller Jr.—and the mythic figure Prometheus of Greek mythology. I will also divulge on the parallels between both of their philanthropic actions for humanity, (although the Rockefellers have made more contributions to humans in New York City). For the conclusion, I will propose that Prometheus has been—and most likely will be—the most engaging model of philanthropy, which the Rockefeller family and one of its members, J.D. Rockefeller Jr., have taken as inspiration for their philanthropy. When I went to Rockefeller Plaza, it was a sunny and slightly windy day, and this is probably one of the best types of days to visit the site and its statue of Prometheus. I say this because of the several national flags that line the walls around the ice rink and above the gold statue, which had many ripples and contours as they flew in the wind.…
