    The reason why these two visions differer is because of their perspectives.

    Prometheus's perspective of Jupiter isn't a very happy and glad one because of a past quarrel. The myth of how mankind gained the gift of fire because Prometheus felt sorry for mankind who were dying due to the hunger and cold. After disobeying Jupiter, who told Prometheus not to give the gift of fire to mankind, Jupiter was furious to see mankind use the gift of fire and built chariots like the ones that the gods rode in themselves. To punish Prometheus for giving mankind this gift, Jupiter chained Prometheus onto a rock and sent an eagle to pull out Prometheus's liver. But, being immortal, Prometheus's liver would grow back every single day and the pain would continue. Meanwhile, as Prometheus suffered every single day, us, humans, would rejoice and sing about the glory of the gods and how amazing Jupiter was, to have saved us from Cronus/Saturn. Thus, the reason as of why Prometheus doesn't see Jupiter as the shining almighty king of the gods as the narrator, who is human, sees it.
