Prometheus was a Titan in Greek mythology known for his intelligence and for stealing fire from the gods to give it to humanity, symbolizing the gift of knowledge and enlightenment. As punishment for his transgression, Zeus had him bound to a rock where an eagle would eat his liver every day, only for it to regenerate each night, subjecting him to eternal suffering. This myth reflects themes of rebellion, sacrifice, and the consequences of defying divine authority.
