Prometheus, as is known, was that daring Titan who challenged the gods, and in particular his cousin Zeus, king of all divinities. Interestingly, the challenge to him was not for the mere vanity of power, nor for glory for himself, but to advance the human race, especially in the version of the poet Aeschylus onwards. More strategic than strongman, Prometheus succeeded in his task by stealing the fire technology, but he paid a heavy price. He returned the most valuable technology to man at the time, which had been deliberately withdrawn by Zeus. Chained to a rock, an eagle devoured his liver that the gods regenerated for him to be devoured again in a loop of indescribable suffering. Heracles killed the eagle, which was allowed by Zeus to his glory, thus freeing the Titan.
