Who is Prometheus in greek mythology?

Answer 1

Prometheus was a titan, and in the creation of mankind he gave the humans fire, because his brother epimtheus gave the animals all the good stuff like protection, and speed and everything else.

what he did was tricked Zeus and commited three crimes against Zeus, for example,

1. he loved man more then the gods, so Zeus put women on earth,

2. he tricked Zeus, so Zeus tricked him into letting a woman into the house,

(the woman was Pandora, and she was evil, she had a box full of evil things and released it into the world cause of her curiosity)

3. he didnt tell Zeus the name of his only human son, so Zeus put Prometheus on top of a cliff and tied him there, and everyday Zeus would turn into an Eagle and gore some body part out of him, and make him better so he could do it again every day.

if you don't see the biblical refrences either, then the mother who was a vergin, who was pregnant with a gods son, was Mary, and Jesus was the son.

and woman come after men, and are evil, Adam and Eve,

yeah there yah go (:

Answer 2

Prometheus is the god protector of mankind. 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.

When he saw that they were cold he stole some of Zeus's fire and gave it to them, and when Zeus found out he was so angry that he tied Prometheus to a cliff and sent a bird to rip out his liver.
