Prometheus

The Titan of Greek mythology who brought fire to humanity and was punished by Zeus by being chained to Mt. Caucasus where his liver was eaten by a vulture every day, and healed in the night. He was released from this suffering by Hercules.

The Secret Doctrine states that Prometheus represents the Pitis who awakened the mind principle in human beings during the Third Root Race. Thus, he is identical with Lucifer, the “light bearer.”
