Prometheus stole knowledge from the gods and gave it to humans, so Jupiter punishes him by having him chained and his heart torn out by vultures
Prometheus is the one who put jupiter in power in the first place, and has power over Jupiter because of a curse Prometheus made – tries to recall curse but cannot- phantasm comes and speaks them- prometeus repents/ forgives Jupiter for punishing him- this forgiveness takes away Jupiter’s power and Prometheus is released
Echoes Christ throughout
