Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, sentenced Prometheus to eternal torment for his transgression.
The punishment of Prometheus as a consequence of the theft of fire and giving it to humans is a popular subject of both ancient and modern culture. He is sometimes presented as the father of Deucalion, the hero of the flood story. Prometheus is known for his intelligence and for being a champion of humankind, and is also generally seen as the author of the human arts and sciences. In some versions of the myth he is also credited with the creation of humanity from clay.
