Prometheus, the titan who rebelled against the Olympian gods, stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans. Fire is the foundation of civilization. Humanity thus emerged from dark caves. They discovered science, writing, enlightenment, heating, various medicines in the field of health, and the domestication of wild animals. In short, Prometheus' act paved the way for humanity's civilization, liberated humanity, and provided the means for humanity to use its intellect. Zeus punished Prometheus for defying the order established by the gods, and Prometheus was subjected to various punishments and tortures for the sake of humanity.
