The Punishment For Prometheus

       Some people don't know about Prometheus and how he was punished for being a decedent of the Titans which means he has a child who is a Greek god and now he is being punished for it. If you do know about how Prometheus Titan of molding mankind out of clay and how he was punished then you know how it goes good but if you don't let me start at the being so you understand it. When the Greek god Zeus and his brothers where born the Titan lord Kronos ate all his kids because of the prophecy that one of his own sons will overthrown him  and he did not want that to happen but it turned out that Kronos wife gave him a rock instead of Zeus. Rhea (Kronos wife) hid baby Zeus on the island of Krete. When Zeus grew up he forced his father to bring up his brothers Poseidon and Hades. A great war had started agents Titans and Greek gods which is when they cut up Kronos and threw him in the pit of Tartarus and the other Titans where killed or some where punished like Prometheus or Atlas (he was the general next to Kronos) who had to hold up the sky because he lead the Titans to war with the gods. Zeus choose the punishment for Prometheus he sentenced him to eternal torment so he was bound to a rock where each day an eagle would come and eat his live but because Prometheus was immortal he just came back to life. Do you think it was right that Prometheus was punished this way why or why not?

    I think it is fair because of the way Kronos was so evil same with atlas maybe he would be to in future and if they unpunished him he would be evil for sure because of the years of pain ad anger so I do think the punishment was necessary.
