What is the summary of Prometheus and the first people?

Prometheus was a titan who took Zeus's (Jupiter) side when he overthrew his father, the titan king Kronos (Cronus). When the Olympians took over, Prometheus was therefore favored by Zeus and not punished as the others were. When Prometheus discovered that Zeus was hording fire away from mankind so that they would be blind to worship the gods (Zeus was afraid they would grow too independent), he stole the fire and gave it to the mortals and was named Protector of Mankind, Bringer of Fire. But, Zeus was angered when he looked down at the fires of mankind and had Prometheus chained to a rock on the Caucasus Mountains with celestial bindings. To make the sufferings worse, Zeus's sacred animal, an eagle, swooped down every night to tear out his liver. Being immortal, it always grew back. Prometheus was later freed by the hero Hercules (Herakles) as one of his 12 labors.
