According to Greek legend, Prometheus bestowed upon mankind the igniter of a cultural spark: fire. Without the gift of fire, men would have been left in the dark in innumerous ways.
Fire illuminated the path towards the creation of the thriving cultures that we know today. Plus,

Prometheus’s clay Ferbies do it? Thank goodness Prometheus didn’t forget to give mankind some math and science along with all important fire.
