In Greek Mythology, Zeus (the Sky Prince who became the Sky God) created man, but let's say that his man was the "pre-apple Man". Prometheus was Zeus' fellow god (a Titan like Zeus' Father) and friend, and it was Prometheus who gave Man fire, going against Zeus' wishes. So "post-apple Man" was created by Prometheus, in a way.

Here fire could be viewed as actual fire. But I think it is more appropriate to think of "fire" here as knowledge.
