Explanation

Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity. As punishment, Zeus ordered him to be chained to a rock where an eagle (or vulture) would eat his liver each day, which would regenerate overnight. This torment continued until Heracles eventually freed him. Options A, B, and D are not part of the Prometheus myth.
