Who was the Titan who gave fire to the world?

Prometheus, the good titan.


How did Prometheus and Pandora contribute to the creation myth?

By some accounts, Prometheus is the creator of the current version of man (men of the Heroic age and Iron Age). He and his brother, Epimetheus, were given sway to grant gifts to the creatures they created, but when it came time to bestow gifts on man, Epimetheus had none to give. So, he made man walk upright, like the gods, and gave him the gift of fire. When Zeus came to receive sacrifice from the newly created man, Prometheus, a crafty devil, decided to help. The men made two offerings, one was a cow's stomach filled with choice meats (something unappetizing, but really good), the other was a thigh bone wrapped in glistening fat (something that looks good, but is inedible). Zeus chose the latter, having been fooled by Prometheus. As punishment, Zeus took fire away from men. Prometheus stole it back again and we know his punishment. For men, though Zeus devised something more devious. He created a woman, beautiful and cunning, she was instructed by the gods and given an insatiable curiosity. He sent her down from Olympus with a box that was sealed. She was given to Epimetheus as a wife, and he begged her not to open the box. At her first opportunity, though, she opened the box, releasing all manner of ills and woes upon her unsuspecting neighbors. Only hope remained and she was closely guarded.

What was the story of Prometheus?

This is the whole legend of Prometheus:One day, a quarrel broke because of a bull: no one agrees on the pieces that will be given to the gods and those that will be given to mankind. Prometheus was chosen to be the arbiter of the conflict. Prometheus makes two bags. In the first, there is all the flesh, but he hides it behind the stomach, which is the least delicious part of the animal. In the second, there are bones hidden under a layer of creamy white fat (Gods love to eat fat). Zeus chose the second bag. (That's why the ancient Greeks sacrificed only the fat and the bones of an animal)When Zeus discovers the ruse, he punishes Prometheus by removing fire from mankind. Prometheus visit Athena to ask her to help him enter Olympus without being seen. She helps him. He steals fire from the gods and give it to mankind.Zeus decides to avenge him. He asks Hephaestus to make a woman with clay and give her life. This woman is Pandora. (Pandora had a bad temper. Zeus maybe thought that living with her would drive Prometheus crazy) Zeus sends the gift to Epimetheus, his brother. But he denies the gift.Increasingly irritated, Zeus orders to enchain Prometheus in the Caucasus Mountains, where a vulture will eat his liver all day, for eternity. Later, Zeus is sorry for having inflicted this punishment to Prometheus because he once gave him a good advice: to not marry Thetis to avoid having a child that is more powerful than him (This child, when he will grow up, could dethrone Zeus.). Zeus ordered Heracles to release Prometheus. Since he condemned Prometheus to eternal punishment, Zeus told Prometheus that, to give the impression of being still a prisoner, he must wear a ring made of metal chains.
