Prometheus committed the transgression of stealing fire from the gods and giving it to humanity, which enabled progress and civilization but defied the divine order. As punishment for his act of defiance, Zeus had Prometheus bound to a rock where an eagle would eat his liver every day, only for it to regenerate each night, subjecting him to eternal torment.
