Correct answer

Prometheus

Explanation

Prometheus was the son of the Titan Iapetus, who was the god of fire. When he gave fire as a gift to humanity, he crossed Zeus, who therefore chained him naked to a rock (according to some, a rock in the sea) and sent an eagle to eat his liver. This organ turned out to be immortal, as it regrew every night, after which the eagle would eat it during the day.
