Since Prometheus sided with Zeus in the war between the Titans and the Olympians, he had to fight against Cronus. That is what made them enemies.

Did Prometheus create man before Kronos was chopped into tiny pieces?

The chronology of the Greek myth is often contradictory. But Prometheus and Zeus never got along, so one might assume that the actions of Prometheus were after Zeus had overthrown Cronus.


What is Prometheus gods of?

Prometheus means "forethought", so you might say he is the god of that, but he is not an Olympian god (he was born to titans Iapetus and Themis, not Titans Cronus and Rhea) and therefore has no set domain.


Was Prometheus a god?

The Titans were the 6 elder gods - Cronus, Coeus, Crius, Iapetus, Hyperion and Oceanus. The Titanides (female Titans) were Rhea, Theia, Tethys, Themis, Phoebe and Mnemosyne. Many of their children also received the appellation 'Titan', including Prometheus. Prometheus was known as the Titan god of forethought and it was he who was entrusted with the task of moulding mankind out of clay.


Why was Zeus angy at the Prometheus?

Zeus really was all about having power over the humans. He saw himself as almighty and thought nothing of the mortals. On the other hand Prometheus was willing to give himself for the humans. He was thought to bring fire to the earth from Mt. Olympus. Also he scalped humans out of clay and they were unhappy so he decided to give them fire to brighten their lives (even though he suffered harsh punishments from Zeus for stealing the flame). Of course all of this is in Greek Mythology.


What does prometheus means?

Prometheus means, "One with foresight". The Olympian god Prometheus had the power of forethought/foresight.
