Yes, Most myths do teach a lesson, for ex. The story of king midas and the golden touch Teaches how being greedy and wanting more and more, Isnt really what you truly need.
It would not be; Prometheus implies "forethought" and the helper of humans and forefather of humanity.
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.
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.
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.
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.
