Answer 3
Prometheus
Prometheus was the Titan god of forethought and crafty counsel
who was entrusted with the task of moulding mankind out of clay.
His attempts to better the lives of his creation brought him into
direct conflict with Zeus. Firstly he tricked the gods out of the
best portion of the sacrificial feast, acquiring the meat for the
feasting of man. Then, when Zeus withheld fire, he stole it from
heaven and delivered it to mortal kind hidden inside a fennel-
stalk. As punishment for these rebellious acts, Zeus ordered the
creation of Pandora (the first woman) as a means to deliver
misfortune into the house of man, or as a way to cheat mankind of
the company of the good spirits. Prometheus meanwhile, was
arrested and bound to a stake on Mount Kaukasos where an eagle
was set to feed upon his ever-regenerating liver (or, some say,
heart). Generations later the great hero Herakles came along and
released the old Titan from his torture.
