When Prometheus tricked Zeus by stealing fire from the gods and giving it to humanity, Zeus punished him severely. He had Prometheus bound to a rock where an eagle would eat his liver each day, which would regenerate overnight, subjecting him to eternal torment. Additionally, Zeus created Pandora, the first woman, and sent her to humanity as a punishment, bringing about further suffering through the release of evils from her jar. This act highlighted the conflict between divine authority and the benefits of knowledge and progress for humanity.

How does Pandora's mistake solve the problem Prometheus caused for the gods?

Prometheus crafted mankind, due to the actions of Epimetheus mankind was left in a helpless shape. Prometheus also tricked the gods/Zeus into having the lesser portion of the sacrificial feast; bones for the gods, meat for mankind. Zeus did not want mankind to have fire. Prometheus stole fire for mankind; Prometheus was then bound on Mount Kaukasos where his liver was devoured daily by a eagle. Zeus had Pandora crafted, who became the wife of Prometheus' brother, Epimetheus; mankind was then punished for having meat and fire from the gods by having all the evils released on earth.
