The two act Creatures of Prometheus is based on the Greek mythological person who drove ignorance from people, and brought to life two statues who are instructed in the arts. The scenario of the original ballet has long since been lost, though in Beethoven's sketch-book the basis of the action is provided.

"The playing is neat and fresh with rhythms well pointed"
