Prometheus was chained to a rock where an eagle ate his liver every day and, due to Prometheus' immortality, it grew back every night. Zeus also sent Pandora and Pandora's Box as a "gift" to Epimetheus (Prometheus' brother). Pandora's Box contained all the evils, pain and illnesses of mankind.
Yes. Her is an excerpt from an article:
Prometheus, the son of Lapetus, was the wisest of the Titans, and was sometimes called "forethought" because he could see the future.
Also, read Percy Jackson & the Olympians last few chapters. It's in there somewhere.
Prometheus was a Titan, which is different from the ones we call the Greek gods. Anyway, he created the humans, which was OK. But then he taught the humans some tricks and gave them fire, which was supposed to be the privilege of the gods. This enraged Zeus who decided to punish Prometheus.
he can teleport between dimensions, control time, and used to rule the world before Zeus . he's the god of titans .
The mythological Prometheus had a son named Deucalion. Deucalion was the Greek mythology equivalent of Noah. Zeus caused a great flood while he was angry at King Lycaon. Deucalion (son of Prometheus) created a Chest (same as Ark) to save himself and his wife during the great flood.
In some Greek myths, Prometheus is credited with the creation of Man. But because his brother, Epimetheus, gave all the favorable gifts to the animals, nothing was left to give man. So, Prometheus mad man walk on two legs, like the gods, and gave him the gift of fire, another item only the gods possessed.
After an incident during the first sacrifice, Zeus took fire away from Man. Prometheus stole it back, and as a punishment, Zeus had him chained to a mountain to have an eagle eat his lever every day for eternity.
In Greek mythology Prometheus was a Titan. The Titans were the Gods that were in charge before the Olympians took over. Prometheus sided with the Olympians in the war of succession but after wards was considered to be something of a poor cousin. He is the one credited with the creation of man from earth -- hence the equating with Dr. Frankenstein. Also Prometheus came to a bad end (he stole fire from the Gods to give to men which offended Zeus. So he got chained to a rock with an eagle visiting him every day and eating out his liver.) So the association is also an ominous one.
they met when zues created Pandora as a punishment for prometheus stealing his fire
When Mary Shelley and her "extended" family passed through Germany they came upon the Dark Age Fortress Frankenstein. The name mean Rock of the Franks, from way back when the Franks were a Germanic tribe. At the time Mary was there the fortress was being used as a laboratory where a notorious alchemist named Konrad Dippel was experimenting with the effects of electro-statics on human bodies. For a more detailed discussion see link below.
This is the whole legend of Prometheus:
One day, a quarrel broke because of a bull: no one agrees on the pieces that will be given to the gods and those that will be given to mankind. Prometheus was chosen to be the arbiter of the conflict. Prometheus makes two bags. In the first, there is all the flesh, but he hides it behind the stomach, which is the least delicious part of the animal. In the second, there are bones hidden under a layer of creamy white fat (Gods love to eat fat). Zeus chose the second bag. (That's why the ancient Greeks sacrificed only the fat and the bones of an animal)
When Zeus discovers the ruse, he punishes Prometheus by removing fire from mankind. Prometheus visit Athena to ask her to help him enter Olympus without being seen. She helps him. He steals fire from the gods and give it to mankind.
Zeus decides to avenge him. He asks Hephaestus to make a woman with clay and give her life. This woman is Pandora. (Pandora had a bad temper. Zeus maybe thought that living with her would drive Prometheus crazy) Zeus sends the gift to Epimetheus, his brother. But he denies the gift.
Increasingly irritated, Zeus orders to enchain Prometheus in the Caucasus Mountains, where a vulture will eat his liver all day, for eternity. Later, Zeus is sorry for having inflicted this punishment to Prometheus because he once gave him a good advice: to not marry Thetis to avoid having a child that is more powerful than him (This child, when he will grow up, could dethrone Zeus.). Zeus ordered Heracles to release Prometheus. Since he condemned Prometheus to eternal punishment, Zeus told Prometheus that, to give the impression of being still a prisoner, he must wear a ring made of metal chains.
