Prometheus Προμηθεύς、 English: Prometheus, whose name means "foresight"), is one of the Titans' gods in ancient Greek mythology. He was born to Iapetus, the son of Gaia and Uranus, and Clemenez, the brother of Epimetheus.
Prometheus and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, jointly created human beings. Prometheus was responsible for sculpting human shapes with clay, while Athena poured soul into clay figurines and taught human beings a lot of knowledge. Prometheus also rebelled against Zeus and brought fire to the world.

Prometheus was born of the Titans. [1] In the "Odysseus Journey" of the myth of Prometheus, which has lasted for nearly 3000 years, the image of Prometheus has undergone a long and complex evolution.
In 1907, Lu Xun first introduced the modern image of Prometheus created by Shelley through "The Theory of Moro Poetic Power", and in 1930, he put forward the "Theory of Stealing Fire by Translation", which directly compared Prometheus to "Revolutionary".
In 1924, Zheng Zhenduo first introduced the Prometheus prototype created by Aeschylus in the then authoritative magazine Fiction Monthly.

In the Titan War led by Zeus and Cronus, Prometheus stood on the side of the new Olympian god, so he was appreciated by Zeus and stayed on Mount Olympus. [1] Prometheus made human beings out of clay according to his own body, and Athena endowed human soul and sacred life.
The gods held a meeting to determine the rights and obligations of mankind, and Prometheus attended the meeting as the defender of mankind. At the meeting, he tried to prevent the gods from demanding sacrificial conditions because they promised to protect human beings. The son of the Titan decided to use his wisdom to deceive the gods. He killed a big bull on behalf of his creation, and asked God to choose only the part they liked. He cut the sacrificial bull into pieces and divided it into two piles. A stack of meat, viscera and fat, covered with cow hide, with cow belly on it; The other is full of beef bones, which are wrapped with beef suet. This pile is larger than the other one. Zeus was tricked into choosing the pile of cattle bones. Since then, humans have kept the meat they hunted and wrapped the remaining bones with fat to offer to the gods. Zeus was deceived and became very angry. He decided to revenge Prometheus. Therefore, he refused to provide mankind with the last thing necessary for life: fire.
Prometheus tried to remedy this defect. He picked up a branch of the woody fennel (Ferula communis), walked to the solar car, and when it passed from the sky, he stretched the branch into its flame until it burned. He fell to the ground with the fire and brought it to mankind. Immediately, the first pillar of forest fire rose to the sky. Then Zeus was furious, and he ordered the god of fire to give Prometheus the most severe punishment.
But Hephaestus, the god of fire, admired Prometheus and said quietly to him, "As long as you admit your mistakes to Zeus and return the kindling, I will ask Zeus to forgive you." Prometheus shook his head and said firmly, "What's wrong with bringing benefits to mankind? I can endure all kinds of pain, but I will never admit my mistakes, let alone return the kindling!"
The god of fire did not dare to disobey Zeus' order. He and his two servants took Prometheus to the Caucasus Mountains and tied him to a steep cliff with an iron chain that never stopped earning. He could never sleep, and his tired knees could not bend. A diamond nail was also nailed to his undulating chest.
In addition, Zeus also sent a hateful eagle to peck Prometheus' liver every day (in ancient Greece, the liver was considered the place of human emotion). The liver was eaten during the day, but it would grow again at night. In this way, the pain that Prometheus suffered would never end. Nevertheless, Prometheus did not give in. In this way, day after day, year after year. Until Heracles passed here on the way to find the golden apple, and saw that he shot the eagle with an arrow, and smashed the chain with a stone to save him, he had been enduring this indescribable pain and suffering.
