Prometheus is a Greek name that means "forethought" or "forethinker". In Greek mythology, Prometheus was a Titan who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans, for which he was punished by Zeus. He was chained to a rock and had his liver eaten by an eagle every day, only to have it grow back overnight. Prometheus is often seen as a symbol of rebellion and defiance against authority.
