Dont say Prometheus
It was discovered in pre-history, and almost certainly independently by many, many individuals. You aren’t going to get a name on it.
Counterpoint: I heard it was Dave
That prick!
It was the Roman ruler, Biggus Dickus.
I have a vewy good fwiend in Wome named Biggus Dickus.
How do you think the first manmade ignition happened?
Someone was careless with their cigarette.
2 rocks by accident
My guess would be someone trying to make stone tools by banging rocks together, a spark fell into dry grass, etc. But, you know, just a guess.
Prometheus
Prometheus
That information is lost to pre-history, but probably either Ug or Urg. Those guys were like the Wright Brothers of cave shit.

Dont say Prometheus
Ok… it was Προμηθεύς.
Prometheus’s dog
Someone flammable, I bet.
Or inflammable.
“‘Inflammable’ means ‘flammable’? What a country!”
It was always originally “inflammable”, as in “able to be inflamed”. It wasn’t until cargo warning placards came around (for trains, I’m sure), that the meaning got muddled up with “unable to be brought to flame”.
There was an official agreement to create the word “flammable”, and use that on warning placards instead.
It’s an old Simpsons quote, from Dr. Nick, a great side character.
I knew it was a quote from somewhere, I just didn’t care. ;)
Some monkey
The famous villain John Fireman. He was eventually killed by firefighters.
Probably a titan. Who created the universe in Greek myth? 🤔
Fire is a fundamental force of nature. Like gravity. So it either wasn’t “invented” or was invented by the universe’s creator if one exists. Newton didn’t invent gravity. He didn’t even discover it. He just found a new way to describe it via numbers instead of words (but also so many words).
It was Zog
Various individuals no doubt figured it out independently and then others in their tribe learned it from them. At first people probably took burning material from forest fires and brush fires that had been caused by lightning.
Wouldn’t it be Hestia because Prometheus stole it from her?
Either Arthur Brown or H.P. Baxxter
E: or perhaps Keith Flint
