Can't tell Atropos is female by the pink color? Let's add a bow!Okay, so…if you aren't familiar with Greek mythology, Atropos is one of the Fates and Prometheus created man from clay and stole fires from the gods to give to man.(I had to look up the former, honestly. I had a feeling it had to do with Greek Mythology because of Prometheus and because the name sounds Greek.)"Prometheus" is actually what they call Robo in this side quest. I had no trouble making a connection between GLaDOS and Mother Brain because Portal 2 has an allusion to Prometheus in it. GLaDOS is the Prometheus character being cast into bowels of Aperture (Tartarus) where she is bound to a potato (rock) and pecked by a bird.The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is what GLaDOS's fire is…maybe the portal technology. Wow. I am getting way off topic here.
