Excerpt from Prometheus bound
Hephaistos,
Power and Violence, enough. You've dragged him here to Scythia, the worlds dead end, for you nothing remains.
I must carry through the fathers black command,
To bind Prometheus, a brother God,
and nail him to this precipice,
My heart says not to but I must.
I know the power of zeus,
I must obey.

Prometheus was a titan, and in the creation of mankind he gave the humans fire, because his brother epimtheus gave the animals all the good stuff like protection, and speed and everything else. what he did was tricked Zeus and commited three crimes against Zeus, for example, 1. he loved man more then the gods, so Zeus put women on earth, 2. he tricked Zeus, so Zeus tricked him into letting a woman into the house, (the woman was Pandora, and she was evil, she had a box full of evil things and released it into the world cause of her curiosity) 3. he didnt tell Zeus the name of his only human son, so Zeus put Prometheus on top of a cliff and tied him there, and everyday Zeus would turn into an Eagle and gore some body part out of him, and make him better so he could do it again every day. if you don't see the biblical refrences either, then the mother who was a vergin, who was pregnant with a gods son, was Mary, and Jesus was the son. and woman come after men, and are evil, Adam and Eve, yeah there yah go (:
