After enduring 30,000 years of unending torment, Prometheus found an unexpected savior in the great Heracles, son of Zeus. Heracles had journeyed far and wide, seeking the Golden Apples of the Hesperides, encountering Prometheus along the way. Moved by the Titan's suffering and recognizing the injustice of his punishment, Heracles had ended his agony. With the permission of Zeus, Heracles drew his bow and shot the eagle. Freed from his chains, Prometheus was finally released, symbolizing the resilience of knowledge, foresight, and enduring the spirit of humanity.
