Prometheus was one of the Titans, deities that existed before the Olympian Gods, and was known as the protector and benefactor of mankind. After Prometheus angered Zeus, king of the Olympian Gods, with his trickery, Zeus took fire away from mankind. Prometheus then stole back the fire and returned it to mankind so that they could survive and prosper. As punishment, Zeus chained him to a rock and sent an eagle every day to eat his liver, which regrew every night. Years later, Hercules saved Prometheus by killing the eagle with his arrows.
