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.
