The Dreadful Punishment

When Zeus found out what Prometheus had done, he sent Vulcan, the god of blacksmithing, to chain Prometheus to the highest peak in the world. So Vulcan did what Zeus had commanded and chained Prometheus to the highest peak. Every day for ages an eagle devoured his liver, and every night it would grow back. Prometheus wanted to escape, but he did not say he was sorry to Zeus. Finally a hero called Hercules came to rescue him. He dodged all of Zeus’s thunder bolts successfully. When he got there he slew the eagle and broke the chains. The delighted Prometheus was thankful to Hercules. And the dreadful punishment was over.
