Summary: "Humans have long tried to understand - and explain - this fact of the human condition. The ancient Greek playwright, Aeschylus, tells us in a tragedy he wrote in the 5th century BCE, Prometheus Bound, that Zeus punished the Titan, Prometheus, with lifelong suffering for having stolen fire and given it to humans.2 Before Prometheus's intervention, fire had only belonged to the gods. Zeus punished Prometheus by chaining him to a rock and sending an eagle to pluck out his liver during the day. At night, his liver regenerated, only for the eagle to return the next day to pluck it away again. Because Prometheus was half human, he felt the pain of the mortal wound inflicted by the eagle, but because he was half divine, he did not die from the wound"-- Provided by publisher.
