Prometheus offers humanity the deceptive gift of fire, which symbolizes both enlightenment and progress. While fire provides warmth, protection, and the ability to cook food, it also brings destructive potential and chaos. This duality highlights the complexities of human advancement, as the benefits of knowledge can lead to unforeseen consequences. Thus, fire serves as a metaphor for the broader gifts of knowledge and technology, which can empower but also endanger society.
