Prometheus was punished by Zeus (Jupiter) because he stole fire to give back to mankind. He was chained to a rock in the Caucasus Mountains, and every day an eagle came and ate part of his liver. Each night, his liver would regrow, which meant he had to endure his punishment for eternity. The Greek hero Heracles (Hercules) , with Zeus' permission, later killed the eagle and freed Prometheus from this torment.
