Fire, of course, was essential for providing warmth, making tools, cooking food, and other life-sustaining activities. In turn, Prometheus stole fire from Zeus and return
5、ed it to man. Zeus then punished Prometheus by chaining him to a rock on Mount Caucasus(高加索) and sending down an eagle to feed constantly on Prometheuss liver(肝臟).Because Prometheus was immortal(永生), his liver restored(重生) itself every time the eagle ate of it. Thus, Prometheus suffered unrelenting,
6、 everlasting torture. Zeus declared, however, that he would release Prometheus if Prometheus disclosed to him knowledge he had of a plot against Zeus. But Prometheus defiantly refused to do so. .Ultimately, Hercules freed Prometheus.The comparison of Frankenstein to Prometheus is apt, for three reas
7、ons. First, like Prometheus, Frankenstein became a creator. Second, Frankenstein also defied (挑釁)heaven, for in making the monster he usurped(篡權) power reserved for heaven alone.
