In Greek Mythology, Prometheus was not only the creator of mankind but also stole fire from Mount Olympus and gave it to mankind to use. Zeus' eternally punished Prometheus by chaining him to a rock in the Mountains, where his liver is eaten daily by an eagle, only to be regenerated by night, due to his immortality. The eagle is a symbol of Zeus himself.
