This representation is so much like the suffering of Jesus on the way to Calvary, when He comforted the women of Jerusalem by saying to them "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. (Luke 23:28) Jesus understood the problem of the soul, its descent. and its necessary liberation, and He suffered for it without blaming or condemning anyone.Like Hercules and the Greek Heroes who conquered the twelve labors of the Zodiac, then ascended unto Mount Olympus and their father, the God Zeus or Jupiter; Jesus also passed through the twelve Stations of the Cross in His suffering. The drama is similar but the import may differ for each soul.
Each story or incident explains the other, in the problem of Good and Evil and our struggle here on earth.
Prometheus symbolizes the soul. The fire of Life Prometheus which he brought down to the race of men called Adams, refers to the very energy of the soul itself, the Holy Shabd or logos, borrowed from higher regions. The mind and senses, by improper use, consume this soul energy to them, in an effort to enjoy the fruits of this Tree of Life. If this were allowed to continue, the soul and the higher regions themselves would be dragged down to the level of sensory pleasures. Therefore, it is quite plain that man as well as woman, Adam as well as Eve, originally fell because of the desire for knowledge and sensation. But when the desire for sensation and the crystallization of this energy for psychic and sensory enjoyment appeared on the scene, it had to be cast out of Paradise. (GEN. 3 24)
The gods, called Elohim, were the souls from higher regions. They had gone through this experience in previous cycles of creation and knew the evil which was let loose here for souls on the path of involution. They had a great responsibility and a problem on their hands. And they acted justly, as had been provided for in the plan of involution.
In view of the above, the following video will make sense to you now.

And if you still doubt, please read: Genesis 6:2-9
The Prometheus myth or drama tells a similar story. The god, Prometheus symbolizes the soul. The desire of the soul to enjoy sensory life forever, after it became so entangled that it forgot the Source of Eternal Happiness, was also curtailed by punishment. Mount Caucasus represents the head and the brain, as the seat of the mind. Here all the return messages of sensation and action are received by the conscious mind and the soul. Complete satisfaction is never reached by the mind and the soul in the lower spheres, because these are not their source or Home. Just as Prometheus could not drink of the water that came only up to his chin, so also the mind and soul cannot bend down to drink of the Water of Life for the sake of pleasure as desired, or they would wreck and drown themselves by the evil of their very desires.
The vultures which eat the liver of Prometheus represent the consuming desires and frustrations, and the fires of anger and remorse.
