There once lived a race of huge giants
called Titans who were fierce, violent, and lawless-always fighting among
themselves and against Zeus. Among them, one of them called Prometheus, was
wiser than the rest. In order to defend the earth from tearing to pieces by the
other Titans, he helps the god to overcome them. Then he made the first man, to
whom Athena gave soul and holy breath．Prometheus spent a
lot of time and energy in creating the gift of fire．And fire
raised man above all animals ．Later,there held a joint meeting of gods and men．The meeting
was to decide what part of burnt animals should be given to gods and what to
men．Prometheus cut up an ox and divided it into two parts：under the
skin he placed the fresh,and under the fat he put the bones,for he knew the
selfish Zeus loved fat． Zeus saw through the trick and felt displeased at the Prometheus'
favor towards men．So in a masterful way he took
away the gift of fire from mankind．However,Prometheus
managed to steal fire from heaven and secretly brought it down tomen．Flying into
an anger at this unjustified act of
rebellion,Zeus let the other gods chain Prometheus to a rock on Mountain Caucasus,where a
hungry eagle ever tore at his liver which ever grew again．His period
of pain was to be thirty-thousand years．Prometheus faced his
bitter fate firmly and never lost courage before Zeus．At last
Heracles made Prometheus and Zeus restore to friend ship,when
Heracles came over in search of the golden apple and killed the eagle and setthe friend of mankind free．
