Prometheus

 //** Prometheus **//

Prometheus was one of the Titans, Mother Earth’s first sons. Prometheus was one of twelve children of Mother Earth and Uranus.

Prometheus was handed the responsibility of recreating man and repopulating the Earth after a dispute between the Olympians had wiped out the human race. Prometheus sat and pondered how to make man before deciding to make man in the image of the gods. Epimetheus, Prometheus' brother, who had been asked to repopulate the animal kindgom, blew right through his task. When Prometheus showed man to his brother, Epimetheus said he was sorry but he had already given the animals all of the gifts that Zeus had told them to give to each thing. Prometheus was devastated so he decided to steal the sacred fire from Mt. Olympus, and give it to man. Zeus saw the fire and was furious with Prometheus. He chained Prometheus to a giant rock and sent a vulture to come and eat his liver every morning but of course Prometheus was immortal so his liver grew back every evening. Every day Prometheus suffered the same fate for his love of man.
