For example, according to Greek mythology, the rings are meant to commemorate the heroism of Titan Prometheus, who stole a divine fire for people and was then punished for doing so by chaining to a rock. He was then freed by the hero Heracles, but as a reminder of his punishment he had to wear on his finger as a ring a link in a chain, by which he had previously been bound to a rock with a stone set to the rock to which he was chained.

In Prometheus' honor, people began to wear rings.
