The Greek pantheon wasn't known for being just or consistent. And technically, Prometheus didn't even steal anything. The gods could still make fire as they pleased.

Prometheus pirated fire. And the punishments for piracy are worse than theft.

I never considered it, but you are perfectly right. Prometheus was the first pirate and anti copyright activist! That makes me like him even more.

Prometheus: "If you can't own fire, then stealing it isn't piracy."

Zeus: "I can own fire."

Prometheus: "oh."
