He angered Zeus, the king of the gods. Zeus chained him up, nailed him to the cliff of Caucasus Mountain, and let vultures peck at his liver every day. Prometheus was unyielding and said to Hermes, the angel who was ordered to surrender, "I will never trade my pain for your slave fate;" I would rather be tied to a cliff than be a loyal servant of Zeus.
