Prometheus son of Iapetus created man from clay and gave him the power of fire to control his fate. Zeus was so angered that he caused Prometheus to be chained to Mount Caucaucus. A vulture came every day to tear and gnaw at his liver, and every night the liver grew back. For centuries Prometheus suffered this agony, until Hercules took pity on him and killed the vulture with an arrow. Then he broke the chains that bound Prometheus, and set him free.
