Prometeo (Spanish: Prometheus) was a monthly avant-garde magazine which existed between 1908 and 1912 in Madrid, Spain. The magazine was established by the avant-garde writer Javier Gómez de la Serna. Its subtitle was revista social y literaria (Spanish: Social and literary magazine).[1]

History and profile

Prometeo was launched by Javier Gómez de la Serna in Madrid on 1 November 1908.[1] It came out monthly.[2] Javier Gómez edited the political section of the magazine until issue 11 dated September 1909 when he was appointed general director registries and notaries.[1] Then his son Ramón Gómez de la Serna took charge of the magazine.[1] He also published articles in the magazine.[3] Its major contributors were as follows: Rafael Cansinos-Asséns, Enrique Díez Canedo, Carlos Fernández Shaw, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Gabriel Miró, Cipriano Rivas Cherif, Emilio Carrere and Francisco Villaespesa.[1]

In April 1909 Prometeo published the Spanish translation of the manifesto of futurism.[4] The text was translated into Spanish by Ramón Gómez.[2] Therefore, it endorsed this new approach which laid the basis of the avant-garde movement.[2] It was the first Spanish periodical which published Spanish translations of the poems by Walt Whitman.[2] The magazine also featured translations of the work by Oscar Wilde, Thomas De Quincey, Anatole France, Maxim Gorky and George Bernard Shaw.[1] The final issue of Prometeo appeared on 1 March 1912.[1]
