FUN FACTS

The first recorded mention of the word from which "philanthropy" is derived occurs in the play Prometheus Bound, written around 430 BCE by the Greek tragedian Aeschylus.  It refers to the Titan Prometheus' "love of humanity" that drove him to steal fire from the gods and give it to humans.
