Prometheus gave man the gift of fire because man hadn't yet invented external space heaters yet and it was freezing. This pissed off Zeus, who was worried about global warming, so he chained Prometheus to a rock and ordering an eagle to eat his liver every day. This was the first recorded act of environmental terrorism.

Prometheus stole fire (and the knowledge of how to make it) from Zeus and the rest of the gods, and gave it to mankind. To punish Prometheus for his transgression, Zeus chained him to a rock so that an eagle would come each day and peck out his liver, then at night, his liver would regenerate and the whole thing would happen again day after day, night after night.
To punish man, Zeus sent them woman (in the form of Pandora). No joke. Now man is punished day after day, night after night.
