this story began when Zeus, after defeating Kronos and the titans he ordered his titan surrenderer called Prometheus to go and create mankind so the can worship him. he strictly forbidden Prometheus to give human fire, but after creating the humans Prometheus loves his creations so much that he wants to help them any way he can, so he gave us fire. when Zeus realize Prometheus had violated his orders, he tied him up and fed his heart to the crows, and uses his magical powers to keep him alive so that once his heart grows back, the vultures will eat it again, so the cycle of suffering continues.
this story proves that not all titans are all bad and you cannot judge people(or god) by its race, even thought Prometheus is a titan, he was still honored by the Greeks because of his bravery and his endless suffering for the humans.
