Reading stories and analyzing characters, one who could be considered a trickster would be Prometheus. Prometheus, also known as the God of Fire, appeared as one of the twelve primary Titans in Greek Mythology. Prometheus was extremely wise, intellectual, and had a great ability to “trick” the king, Zeus. Prometheus used his clever intellect and tricked Zeus into switching sacrifices…eating the bones and fat which were really leftovers, instead of the good meat at Mt. Olympus. This made Zeus mad which caused him to take away the fire from humans so they would not have heat to cook their meat…they would have no choice but to eat it
