Answer 2

I don't know how strictly the story needs to follow Greek Mythology, but if it's permissable, you can try Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Frankenstein is Shelley's reinterpretation of Prometheus, the ancient Greek Titan who brought fire (intelligence, life, etc.) to mankind.

Answer 3

Gods and Heroes by Gustav Schwab--lots of great stories!
