The Mythological History of the Island of Prometheus
In the beginning the Island of Prometheus was a quiet island full of nature and wildlife. Till the day Zeus created the people of the world he put some on the humble Island. High in Mount Olympus the gods ruled over the people.



Prometheus was the son of the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Clymene, and the brother of Epimetheus, Atlas, and Menoetius. Through his smart counseling, Prometheus played an essential part during the war between the Titans and the Olympians. Even though himself a Titan, together with his brother Epimetheus, he sided with Zeus and escaped the brutal punishments that his other two siblings, Atlas and Menoetius, received after the old order of gods was eventually defeated.

Things, however, got sour between Prometheus and Zeus soon after Zeus had established himself as the sovereign ruler of all gods and people of the island. The primary cause for this was Zeus’ tyrannical treatment of the people on the island, which, in the eyes of Prometheus, deserved a far better master.

The rift between the Thunderer and the Forethinker seems to have started on the island when Zeus charged Prometheus with the task of dividing the meat of a great ox into two meals, one for the gods and the other one for the humans on the island. Ever the lover of the latter, Prometheus tried tricking Zeus by producing one portion of bones wrapped in fat, and another one consisting of the finest meat covered with the ox’s insides. Strangely enough, Zeus chose the fat-covered bones, thus setting a precedent which allowed humans, from that day forward, to keep the meat for themselves and sacrifice only the bones to the gods.



Angered by Prometheus’ trick, Zeus tried punishing the people of the island by hiding from them the gift of fire. Prometheus didn’t think this just, so he stole the fire from Mount Olympus and brought it back to them in a fennel stack. In honor of this act, the people of the island instituted a race, during which runners of the same team passed between them a flaming torch until the last runner of the winning team had the privilege to use it to kindle the sacrificial fire on the altar of Prometheus.

Zeus full of rage decided to punish Prometheus. Zeus was as cruel as one can be, he had the Titan chained to a rock on the edge of Mount Olympus and sent an eagle to prey on him. Every day the eagle tore a part of Prometheus’ liver which grew back again during the night so that the unbearable torment could go on indefinitely.



The people of the island wept for Prometheus and devised a plan to free him. A group of the islands strongest warriors scaled the mountain to reach Mount Olympus, and freed Prometheus in the night. Prometheus escaped with the warriors back down to the island.

Prometheus then designed a ritual to banish all the gods of the island but himself to the realm of the Titans were trapped in. All the people of the island chanted the ritual of Prometheus lending him their power together they banished the gods from this world. All but Prometheus, and Prometheus smiled.

The people of the island declared Prometheus their God King, and declared their island the Island of Prometheus.

Prometheus being a deity, regularly possesses a human taking control of them body and mind as to rule over the Island of Prometheus as King. Every time the body he possesses gets too old, he possesses a new willing human's body, which has allowed him to rule the Island of Prometheus for centuries.
