Once Prometheus stole a spark from the hearth in Olympus,he at once flew down to earth to teach mankind how to use it.
He also taught them the skill of metal work.
But upon discovering what he had done, Zeus was beside himself with rage and had him chained to a crag in the Caucasus Mountains.
"You committed sacrilege in stealing from the God's,"said the Lord of Heaven,"and for that you will suffer terrible punishment."
Indeed,each day an eagle alights from the clouds and tears out his liver, devouring it right in front of him.Overnight it grows back and the torture is repeated again and again for eternity.
