Before Zeus became the chief of all the gods on Mount Olympus,a war between Zeus and the Titans had broken out.But with the help of one-eye giants,Zeus won the war, I am Prometheus,one of the Titans.But I guessed that Zeus would win the war,so I had therefore fought on his side.
After the war,Zeus became the chief of gods,In gratitude for my help.he gave me great power. He sent me to the earth and told him to make mortal out of clay and then he would come and breathe life to the mortals that I had made.Zeus also told me to teach the mortals anything they need to know in order to live except the gift of fire.Zeus said,”Fire belongs to the gods only ,and must keep on Mount Olympus.”
I found life on earth was very difficult without fire,so I decided to get fire from Mount Olympus.
With the help of Athena,I managed to steal fire from Apollo’s chariot and secretly brought it down to men.I knew Zeus was powerful and once a god had given a gift it could not be taken away.And I also knew I did not have too much time to teach men to use fire before Zeus found that.So I quickly taught the mortals how to use the gift of fire.
One night,Zeus saw sparks of light from campfires,so he knew that I had given men fire.Flying into an anger at this unjustified act of rebellion,he let other gods capture me. He told Hephaestus to forge a mental chain that cannot broken ,and with this chain bind me to a rock located on the greatest mountain at the edge of the world.Zeus said that I must there forever and would suffer from some pain.So I was frozen in winter and was scorched in summer.I stayed chained for many years.I said I would be there forever,but finally Hercules came forth and broke the bonds.
