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.

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.

How were the humans born in greek mythology?

One Greek myth on the creation of man is that they were created from the earth. However, the most common is that Zeus gave the job of creating man and all the animals to the titan Prometheus. Prometheus gave all the gifts to animals such as shells for turtles or wings for the birds and there was nothing left for man. Prometheus gave man fire as a gift and Zeus chained him to a rock for doing so. Zeus believed that man needed to be weakened so all the goddesses created women, with beauty, grace, charm, lies and seduction.
