He seemed to do a lot more for humanity than anyone else.
I've seen some conflicting information, but it seems as though he also helped make man. Is this true?
Also, does anyone know what was said to have happened to him after he was freed by Hercules?

I assume it's because he wasn't in a position of power. Zeus worship was as much because he could fuck their shit up as it was actually liking him.

Ok. Do you know anything about the legitimacy of these stories, I've seen quite a few.
In some they say he simply gave man fire. In others he gave man fire and the ability to work metal. And in others still he gave man all of this but also actually created man with the help of Athena.
I've also read some stories in which he created two "human-like" creatures who threw stones over their shoulders. These stones becoming men and women. But wouldn't that conflict with the pandora story?
Why didn't the ancient Hebrews worship the fallen angels that have them medicine, metal-working and civilization, but Yahweh the evil god that punished them for it? Really stimulates your almonds.

There was no consistency and no need for consistency in Greco-Roman paganism. Everyone kind of did their own thing in each village and trends went in and out. The stories were only as good as their popularity.

desu those are small details you shouldn't get bothered about. The main point is that Prometheus empowered humanity and got fucked for it
