In order to relate Prometheus to Christ, one must first understand the relationship between Christ and God. Christians believe in the Holy Trinity, which is one God divided into three equal parts: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This was first stated as a truth in the Nicene Creed which declares the fact that Christians believe in (1-6, 18-19):

…one God, the Father almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, of all t

Both Prometheus and Christ foresaw their demises. Jesus tells his disciples of a traitor who will give him up to the priests to be crucified (Mark 10:32-34), and Prometheus tells the Oceanids of a harsher punishment that Zeus will give him (Aeschylus 191-204).

Zeus was angered at this and had Hephaestus mold a woman to give to Prometheus’ brother, Epimetheus. Prometheus, being an all-knowing god, warned his brother not to accept any gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus accepted the woman, whose name was Pandora, anyway. All the gods had given Pandora gifts harming mankind in a box. Pandora opened the box and hatred and all the evils were brought to man; the only thing remaining was hope. Prometheus is made to suffer for all the gifts that he bestowed on mankind by being crucified in the ground having a bird eat his liver each day (Morford and Lenardon 59-60). This parallels to the Christian story of Adam and Eve. God first created Adam and then Eve as his mate. He warned them not to eat from one tree, but Eve convinced Adam to eat the fruit and in return God p!
