Titan Prometheus Research Paper

309 Words2 Pages

CAUCASIAN MOUNTAINS- On January 6th, the popular Titan Prometheus was freed once and for all.

After angering Zeus and stealing his beloved flower of fire, Prometheus was sentenced to 200 years of being chained to the Caucasian mountains. “My intentions were not meant to be harmful at all, I only tried to save the men on earth by giving them a chance to protect themselves.” Prometheus finally broke his long overdue silence and spoke in his defence.

After spending years chained to a mountain, Prometheus’s faith was decided by the man who imprisoned him himself. Zeus, pitying the Titan, freed him from his misery by sending Hercules, to free him. Hercules executed the enormous vulture guarding the Titan and broke the chains holding him.
