Aspects of the Sneeze – John Widdicombe (p.18)

Mankind was created by a sneeze (Fig 1). The Greek demi-god Prometheus had a studio in which he made clay figurines in godlike shape. One day he went outside, opened a snuff box and collected a beam of sunlight in it. Back in the studio he reopened the box, the sunbeam escaped into his nose and eyes, and he sneezed sunlight over the dolls.
