Abstract
Since philanthropia, in Greek, means literally the "love of humankind," philanthropy's cosmopolitan leanings are visible in the very term from which it originates. In Prometheus Bound, where we find perhaps its earliest surviving usage, this term is closely associated with the arts — an association that leads in the modern age to the highly-visible union of philanthropy with technology.Keywords
