Zeus had every intention of leaving Prometheus to the eagle for eternity, but Hercules killed the eagle and freed Prometheus from the mountains he was nailed to.
The answer is Prometheus. In the course of Hercules travels, he came upon Prometheus, (chained to the mountain), and set him free.

Prometheus. He unchained Prometheus from the rock he was tied to.
Hercules set Prometheus free.
Hercules.
No, he was not.
Hercules saved Prometheus as part of his Twelve Labors, specifically during his journey to retrieve the golden apples of the Hesperides. While the exact duration of time it took Hercules to rescue Prometheus is not explicitly detailed in mythology, it is generally understood that this task occurred during his labors, which spanned several years. The rescue involved Hercules freeing Prometheus from his eternal punishment by slaying the eagle that tormented him, a task that was completed relatively quickly compared to the overall timeline of Hercules' labors.
Prometheus is kind, unselfish, he also thought about the humans and gave him the gift of fire. He did not deserve such a severe punishment.
well... Hercules freed him. I think that is the only name for him.
He chained Prometheus to a rock. Then, he had an eagle come and eat Prometheus's liver. However, Prometheus was immortal so his liver regrew every day. The eagle cam every day and ate Prometheus's liver. Prometheus was finally freed by Hercules, who broke the chains.A note: You might have noticed, but the eagle is one of Zeus's symbols...it's a bit ironic.
prometheus did not escape punishment, Hercules saved him from it by slaying the eagle that eats his liver on a daily basis
