Aecschylus
The immortal Prometheus was bound to a rock, where each day an eagle, the emblem of Zeus, was sent to feed on his liver, only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day.
Prometheus crafted mankind, due to the actions of Epimetheus mankind was left in a helpless shape. Prometheus also tricked the gods/Zeus into having the lesser portion of the sacrificial feast; bones for the gods, meat for mankind. Zeus did not want mankind to have fire. Prometheus stole fire for mankind; Prometheus was then bound on Mount Kaukasos where his liver was devoured daily by a eagle. Zeus had Pandora crafted, who became the wife of Prometheus' brother, Epimetheus; mankind was then punished for having meat and fire from the gods by having all the evils released on earth.

It's not clear how long he was bound to the rock. If you base a guess on the time of Zeus to the time of Hercules. It would be 12 generations or 240 years.
