Why did Prometheus give man fire?
He ventured to a nearby cave and saw a group of people freezing and cold. He thought of them more as beasts, than human. So he asked Zeus to give them fire, but he refused. That's why he had to steal the coal from Mt. Olympus and give it to mankind.
Why did Zeus refuse to give Prometheus fire?
Zeus did not refuse. When Prometheus made man, he wanted to bestow upon him a special gift, but his brother, Epimetheus gave all the gifts to the other animals. So, Prometheus, knowing man was special, made him walk upright on two legs, like the gods, and gave him fire to master. Prometheus then taught man about the gods, and helped them prepare their first offering. Favoring man over his cousin, Prometheus made two offerings to Zeus. The first was the best cuts of meat wrapped in an ox's stomach (something nourishing that looks unpleasant) and the beef bones wrapped in fat (something inedible that looks pleasing... keeping in mind that fat was an important part of the diet). Zeus took the latter, setting the precedent for future offerings. OUtraged that he'd been tricked by Prometheus, Zeus took fire away from Man and hid it on Mt. Olympus. Prometheus stole the fire, returned it to man, and paid the price by being chained to a rock and having an eagle eat his liver daily. Mankind paid as well, for Zeus sent Pandora with her box of woe to plague mankind forever.

What did this titan give to man that Zeus had told him not to?
I think you are talking about Prometheus. Prometheus was Zeus's servant. He gave mankind fire, but Zeus did not want him to. Humans thought fire was magic and when they found out that it wasn't, Zeus feared they would think the gods weren't as majestic and worthy. So, when Prometheus gave humans fire, Zeus found him and tied him to a pole where he would send an eagle to eat his liver every day. But, by the next morning, it would have grown back. Prometheus suffered this because he knew Hercules would rescue him. Prometheus could see into the future, so he knew this. That is why Zeus kept him around. Hercules rescued Prometheus. So, that's the story.
Who was titan prometheus?
Prometheus is the god protector of mankind. 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.
Who is Prometheus in greek mythology?
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 (:
