Adventure

Prometheus tricked Zeus by putting beef in an ox, so that something edible was inside something that looked displeasing. He put the bull's bones inside "glistening fat", so that something inedible was in something that looked pleasing and presented them as sacrificial offerings before Zeus, who chose the latter. Zeus, angry, took away fire from mankind, to which Prometheus responded by stealing the fire and giving it back to mankind. Zeus punished him eternally by chaining him so that an eagle could eat his liver, only for it to grow back, repeating the process.
