Question

Why was Zeus angry with Prometheus?


because Prometheus had flown too close to the sun

because Prometheus could not stop looking at his own reflection

Answer 1

Zeus was angry with Prometheus because Prometheus gave mortals the gift of fire. In Greek mythology, this act of defiance enabled humans to advance and thrive, which displeased Zeus as he wanted to keep humans in a more primitive and dependent state. As a result, Zeus punished Prometheus severely for his transgression.
