Origin:
The name Prometheus appears in Greek mythology as the name of a Titan known for his intelligence and cunning. According to the myth, Prometheus was responsible for creating humans from clay and giving them fire, which was stolen from the gods. As punishment for his actions, Prometheus was bound to a rock and had his liver eaten by an eagle each day.
The name is derived from the Greek verb προμηθέομαι (promētheomai), which means "to think ahead," "to foresee," or "to plan." The name therefore reflects Prometheus's characteristic of foresight and planning.
