Prometheus

Prometheus was one of the elder gods known as the Titans, the son of Iapetus and Themis, and brother to Atlas, Epimetheus, and Menoetius. He was known for his wily intelligence and as a champion of humankind, who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals after Zeus had forbidden it to them (and, in some stories, giving them all the arts of civilization, such as writing, mathematics, agriculture, medicine, and science, and even, in some versions, creating mankind itself out of clay). For these crimes, Zeus sent Pandora, the first woman, to live among men and to afflict them with all the evils of mankind, and punished Prometheus by having him bound to a rock in the Caucasus, where his liver was eaten out daily by a great eagle, only to be regenerated by night, for all eternity. Years later, the Greek hero Heracles shot the eagle and freed Prometheus from his chains.
