Question:

Did Promethius get what he deserved for playing with fire?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: No. It seems a rather cruel & unusual punishment to have his liver eaten (with some fava beans & a nice Chianti...? Sorry, Silence reference...) daily just because he wanted to give humans fire.

I don't think compassion should be punished. But the gods do tend to get angry when disobeyed...

As they say, play with fire & you get burned...(though technically burning would have been a more fitting punishment than the one he got I suppose...eye for an eye not liver for a fire...)
