Prometheus is best known for defying the gods by stealing fire from them and giving it to humanity in the form of technology, knowledge, and more generally, civilization. Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, sentenced Prometheus to eternal torment for his transgression. Prometheus was bound to a rock, and an eagle/vulture, the emblem of Zeus, was sent to eat his liver (in ancient Greece, the liver was thought to be the seat of human emotions). His liver would then grow back overnight, only to be eaten again the next day in an ongoing cycle. Prometheus was eventually freed by the hero Heracles. Prometheus is also attributed with the creation of humanity from clay and is known for his intelligence and for being a champion of mankind, and is also generally seen as the author of the human arts and sciences. Prometheus chain bound to a rock sculpture.
