Bat Guano
Prometheus gave the technology of fire to mankind and as a punishment by the gods, he was chained to a mountain in the Caucasus where an eagle ate his liver every day (which was renewed every night). Later, Heracles (Hercules) would rescue him.

I remembered it was mighty Heracles (Hercules) that came by poor Prometheus and freed him. A quick Google search bore this out, but the source is Wikipedia, and usually not to be trusted:
Heracles (known as Hercules in Roman mythology), passing by on his way to find the apples of the Hesperides as part of the Twelve Labours, freed Prometheus. Once free, Prometheus captured the eagle and ate his liver as revenge for his pain and suffering. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus

I know. It was a joke. Kratos is from the game God of War. In it you free Prometheus.

/failed joke..
