Hera can't really cheat because she was the goddess of marriage and other stuff so it would be kinda wrong.

In one of the books I've read a long time ago, it says that a long time has passed since Prometheus's endured the gruelsome punishment given by Zeus. One day Hercules - son of Zeus, passed by, and saw Prometheus's heart once again being ripped out by the wicked raven. Hercules killed the raven and set Prometheus free from his chains. He then pleaded to his father to release the Titan from his everyday torture. It was only then did Zeus finally ageed to set Prometheus free again, under one condition that he would still have to wear a pair of bracelets to remind everybody of his punishment and that they should never disobey a God like Zeus. Hope this is canon though, Prometheus really deserves some Peace and Freedom after all he has done and endured for mankind and humanity.

@@lungelontlebi7597 1. Lucifer means light bringer/light bearer. Prometheus was also a light bearer. 2. Prometheus was wisest among the Titans. Lucifer was brightest amongst the angels. Bright is a cognate for wise. 3. Both were higher beings but lesser than a God. Angels are lesser than God while Titans (Prometheus was a titan) are seen as lesser than the Olympians because they lost the war against them. 4. Both acted against the will of the Highest authority. Zeus/Yahweh 5. Both were rebellious in nature and seen as a trickster, Prometheus betrayed the Titans before he betrayed Zeus while Lucifer betrayed God and the angels. 6. Both gave Man something that they should not possess which is knowledge. Prometheus disobeyed Zeus and stole fire from Mount Olympus then gave it to man and from it learned a thousand arts which gave birth to the first civilization. Lucifer disobeyed God and gave the forbidden fruit from the tree of life to Adam and Eve which gave them knowledge of good and evil i.e. reasoning which then also lead to the first civilization. Prometheus also gave man the gift of reasoning upon their creation. 7. Both were punsihed for this act of knowledge giving and cast down from heaven/olympus. Stripped of their divinity and condemned to suffer for eternity. 8. Both represented the sin pride but the difference is intent. Prometheus rebelled against Zeus because Prometheus was prideful of his creation, he is a god of craft after all. While Lucifer rebelled because he was prideful of himself and wanted to be equal with God. I would say Jesus, Lucifer and Prometheus belong to the same archetype told in different ways. Maybe??... Idk. But Lucifer and Prometheus definitely have more similarities, characteristic of a liberator archetype.

[@Huyrrou]

Prometheus is one of the best creation god, not only he created mankind, he also gave them fire. With his power of foresight, he knew that he will suffer eternal torment yet he still stole the flame, because he loves mankind, he loves his creation. Thanks, Prometheus.

The thing that baffles me the most is that zeus who is the king of gods and Indra who is the god of rain and lightning likewise are both portrayed as aholes sometimes. I guess our ancestors hated irregular weather patterns

[@Shreekumarji]

Zeus King of the Olympic Gods, wields thunder and lightning. Indra King of the Devas ( Devaloka) , wields thunder and lightning. Both known for having a weakness for women and suspicious of anyone overthrowing them. Basically they are the same,

[@debarghapaul866]

The truth maybe both are Indo European thunder deities. The horse men and charioteers did swift looting plundering and r*ping from the agriculturalists. They therefore prayed and identified with the thunder gods as an allegory for their swift attacks. Also after they established dominance over the agriculturalist while settling down and creating the warrior class, they regarded their patron thunder gods as the chief deity, higher in rank than the agricultural gods. After this initial establishment they forgot how their myths came to be. And also the irregular weather patterns can be compared to the irrationalities of the human mind, the raw will to power. Their Zeus and Indra became aholes. And you know Zarathustra initiated a revolt in respect, he classified the Devas of the attacking hoards as demons and Asura/Ahura ( Titan) as the "truth" and the "good". Ahura Mazda is similar to Prometheus in this respect. Similar movement also happened in India during the Puranic age( the age after the Aryans settled on the Ganga valley), a movement from the worship of Devas to 'Bhagwan'( supreme lord Krishna). The story of Krishna and the Govardhan mountain is a allegory for that. For the Greeks, they moved from offering to deities with arbitrary mood kind of 'religio' to a more philosophical way of life starting with Socrates, eventually which led to their convertion to Christianity, which borrowed heavily from Greek philosophy.

People think Zeus is the "best" but in reality he is just like hades if you compare Zeus and Loki Loki is the nicer one, Prometheus should be the god of olyimpus he would sacrifice himself for hunanity. Thank You Prometheus😊😊😊😊

[@jinx5673]

Wdym if he is just like hades. Hades is one of the best gods in the mythology he didn’t cheat,punish unjustly,trick that much he was almost the ideal god.

[@jinx5673]

Loki isn’t that good either he killed baldar even though everything in existence loved him and denied his resurrection and he’s the reason ragnorock will start

Ayo technically Hercules was the one who saved Prometheus in one of his 12 labours the one that he had to get the golden apple and prometheus wasnt killed he was freed and Hercules also killed the bird and in turn Promethius adviced Hercules not to face the dragon guarding the tree with the golden apples and to instead ask Atlas to do it

[@darkfeather6857]

You left out the part where when Heracles came to the underworld, he killed the vulture and freed Prometheus.

[@monadoboy8009]

Prometheus: "I will sacrifice myself for humanity." Jesus: "First time?"

Let's give a raise to prometheus for saving humanity by sacrificing himself for good reasons. He's a real one

[@DoneDragon1]

He can see the future yet he still chose to help humanity, Prometheus is the best

[@SifGreyfang]

Prometheus was fighting for human rights long before anyone else
