Hi, I’m Prometheus. I am a Titan and the son of Iapetus and Themis. In Greek mythology, I am most famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) for stealing fire from Zeus and giving it to humankind. As punishment, Zeus had me bound to a rock and had a eagle eat my liver for eternity. That is until a nice bloke by the name of Heracles set me free.
