[00:00:00]Did you know that in Greek mythology, Zeus tortured a god for 30,000 years by having an eagle eat his liver every single day? That god was Prometheus and his only crime was caring about humans.

[00:00:10]Back then, humans lived in darkness and cold, barely surviving. Zeus wanted to keep them weak and helpless, but Prometheus couldn't stand watching them suffer. So, he did the unthinkable. He snuck into Mount Olympus and stole fire from the gods themselves. When Zeus discovered what happened, he absolutely lost his mind. No one had ever outsmarted him like this. His rage was legendary. Zeus designed the most twisted punishment imaginable. He chained Prometheus to a mountain where every day a giant eagle would fly down and tear out his liver while he screamed in agony. But, here's the sick part.

[00:00:42]Since Prometheus was immortal, his liver would grow back overnight, just so the torture could start all over again. For 30,000 years, this happened [music] every single day. The same pain, the same terror, knowing it would never end, until Hercules finally showed up and freed him. Zeus was absolutely unhinged.
