Prometheus had befriended the humans and took pity upon them. He wanted to see them succeed and thrive instead of die off. So he helped mortals by stealing fire in the fennel stalk and showing them how to use it. Prometheus is a gentle titan, and very compassionate, while Zeus enjoys being in control and believed that the fire was meant for the gods, and not to be handed to the mortals.

The forbidden fruit was entirely different. Satan had tempted Eve, he did not hand her fire and show her how to use it. He wanted her to have the fruit from the forbidden tree so that she would fall from God's grace, and in the process, drag Adam down with her. This way, Satan was proving that mortals were not god-like, because they could be tempted and would eventually fail.

Prometheus was not a dark god in the slightest. He was a titan who had the power of foresight(he could see events that have not yet happened) while his brother had the gift of hindsight(he saw things that had already happened). In all technicalities, he is not a god. He is a titan.

Satan and Prometheus differ in many ways, for example, Satan is the opposite of the christian God because he is what they consider to be the almighty evil tempter. Prometheus was a titan, who is not opposite a god and is seen as a friend of humans, someone to help the mortals.
