The Story of Prometheus
Greek mythology records that Prometheus and his brother Epimentheus, were assigned the task of giving power to the animals of the Earth. But having no gift for man, Prometheus took pity on humanity, stole the fire of knowledge from the gods of Olympus and brought it to Earth. When Zeus, king of the gods, discovered the theft, he chained Prometheus to Mt. Caucasus for thousands of years. An eagle tore at his immortal body by day, yet Prometheus healed every night. Prometheus was freed when hercules killed the eagle and broke the chains.
According to legend, Prometheus is said to have provided humanity with the flame of arts and knowledge. Throughout history, this legend has stood as a symbol against ignorance and justice.
"Teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath provided to mortals
means to mighty ends" ~Aeschylus~
