Prometheus, his name meaning Thinking Ahead, or Forethought, is the son of the Titans Iapetus and Clymene, and is widely known for his intelligence. Prometheus is known to have created humans from clay, and eventually, to have stolen burning coals from Olympus in order to provide mankind with fire.

Zeus, the king of Olympus, infuriated by Prometheus’s actions, bound him to a rock, where an eagle would come, and feed on his liver. His liver would then grow back overnight, only to be eaten again the next day in an ongoing cycle. After some time, Zeus’ son Heracles shot the eagle and freed Prometheus, and the Titan afterwards made peace with his savior’s father.
