Prometheus and the Secret Fire

     Prometheus was a titan. Zeus told Prometheus to make people. Prometheus did what he was told, but in a short time, he began to pity these people. These people were cold because heat wasn't available to them. When no one was looking, Prometheus stole the fire which belonged to the Gods. Now, his people had heat and warmth, and could cook their food. Eventually, Zeus found out of what Prometheus had done. To punish him, Zeus chained Prometheus to a rock, where every single day, an eagle came to tear apart his liver, but it always grew back. So the eagle came back again and did the same thing. Prometheus suffered like this for 30 years, until Heracles rescued him for one of his labours.
