In return for some helpful advice for one of his labors, Heracles drove away the vulture that pecked at Prometheus's liver, and then broke the chains binding him. Thus, Prometheus was rescued.

He stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals. Zeus then punished him for his crime by having him bound to a rock while a great eagle ate his liver every day. Only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day.
