This paper proposes a comparative reading of Prometheus, a novel by Ramón Pérez de Ayala, a Spanish writer, taking Greek mythology as a reference, specifically the heroic figures of Odysseus and Prometheus. This will be done in order to assess the analyses, both critical and literary, of the ideas related to humanism and progress.

Keywords : Humanism; mythology; Odysseus; Pérez de Ayala; progress; Prometheus.
