Prometheus chained in his torment
"When I took the Fires of Olympus to the mortals, Zeus considered it a betrayal. As punishment, he made me mortal and condemed me to be savagly consumed every day by this cursed bird, and then, with the fall of night, I am healed. How long have I been here? How long have I suffered this curse? I truly do not know." - Prometheus
Greek Mythology
In Greek myth, Prometheus is a Titan and his name means forethought. Prometheus is wiser than even the gods and a hero to mankind. He created man and tried to help them, but was punished by Zeus. Unlike the gods, who made the lives of Mortals difficult Prometheus was helpful. It was Prometheus who gave the Fires of Olympus to the mortals. As punishment however, Zeus then chained him to a mountain to be savagely torn at by a giant Eagle
In God of War II
On his way to the Island of Creation, Kratos comes to the mountainous Lair of Typhon. There he finds Prometheus chained in his torment, and Prometheus tells him his story of how he helped mankind but was then punished by Zeus. Prometheus begs Kratos to release him from his torment, so Kratos attempts, but Prometheus falls and ends up getting caught in a chain nuse over the flames. In order to free Prometheus, Kratos had to obtain the power of Typhon's Bane. Once he did, he used it to release Prometheus, and he burned to death in the Fires of Olympus. Upon his death, Gaia gave Kratos his ashes, giving him the Rage of the Titans power.
