I think you cant take myths too literally. Its not about a person.
The fire is the spirit of man. The fire that basically enables him to be non-animal because he got his free will, for good or bad, for the first time in history.
Thats a present from ´Prometheus´or Luzifer (Prometheus is basically the greek version)
Mens creativity, starting to settle, breed cattle etc also religion.
Luzifer, the light bearer. This are pictures of spiritual developments over long time periods. Luziferian powers are present in science, arts, religious enlightenment ..in its extremes up to fanatism and complete dissolution.
The opposite pole is Ahriman, aka Satan, these forces tend to the other direction, to materialism, materialistic thinking, which in the end try to bend men to earth..(think of lord of the rings).
In the middle so to speak stands the Christ as a guide for men.
another important hint, why do you think it is the organ LIVER that is featured in the myth at all?
In a spiritual sense, the liver plays a very important [b]social[/b] role in the body, building up, analysis, synthesis, decontamination, regeneration for the [i]whole[/i]
body.
..now thats a punishment, ripped away by eagles every single day, so that he is forced to build it up new every day..for his act for mankind..
cheers
