Prometheus stole the fire...
In Greek mythology Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humankind. This enraged Zeus because it gives men the power of gods. So Zeus sentenced Prometheus to be tied to a mountain and have his liver eaten out by an eagle every day, only for it to grow back every night. The sentence was to last 50 000 years, but Prometheus was later set free by Zeus' son Hercules who was allowed to kill the eagle to show Zeus' power.

Stealing the Fire:
An open letter to Prometheus:
When Zeus looks down into your eyes
He'll seal your fate, and all your fame,
If you're going to steal the fire
You'll have to touch the flame.
...
Was it one year or one second? It's so blurred in my mind...

It was certainly worth it for us.
But not for him.
Let us not forget the emotion-time continuum wherein those events and times that contain the most emotional significance wherein time seems to stop and for a moment the world is paused in silent wonder, whereas those times that are devoid of emotion appear to speed by and find themselves tendering oblivion with eagerness.
I could just throw a little wrench into the mix by saying that this is an analogy and isn't actually about Prometheus at all, but that may ruin everyone's fun.
oops.
