Why might it be an insult to call someone Prometheus?
It would not be; Prometheus implies "forethought" and the helper of humans and forefather of humanity.
Who helped relieve Prometheus from his punishment?
Zeus had every intention of leaving Prometheus to the eagle for eternity, but Hercules killed the eagle and freed Prometheus from the mountains he was nailed to.
When did Zeus punish Prometheus?
He chained Prometheus to a rock. Then, he had an eagle come and eat Prometheus's liver. However, Prometheus was immortal so his liver regrew every day. The eagle cam every day and ate Prometheus's liver. Prometheus was finally freed by Hercules, who broke the chains.A note: You might have noticed, but the eagle is one of Zeus's symbols...it's a bit ironic.
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.
