Prometheus

From Conservapedia

Prometheus was the wisest Titan. His name means "forethought" and he was able to foretell the future. According to Greek Mythology, he was the son of Iapetus, an old Titan and Clymene, a Nymph. Prometheus was the brother of Menoetius, Atlas and Epimetheus. He is depicted as an intelligent figure who had sympathy for humanity.

He is honored for stealing fire from Zeus and giving it to mortals for their use. For that, Zeus ordered him to be chained on top of the Caucasus and every day an eagle would come to eat his liver.
