Prometheus knew that Zeus was destined to be overthrown by a child born of a goddess. This knowledge made him wary of Zeus's power and led him to take actions to protect humanity, such as stealing fire from the gods and giving it to mortals. His defiance of Zeus's authority ultimately resulted in severe punishment, highlighting the tension between the power of the gods and the resilience of humanity.

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.
