What+the+hand+dare+seize+the+fire

In this section of the poem, Blake makes an allusion to Greek mythology. "What hand dare seize the fir" is referring to Prometheus, the "Creator of Mankind." According to legend, Prometheus stole fire from Zeus, and gave it to mankind, significantly changing civilization and it's growth. Prometheus was punished by Zeus - he was tied to a rock, and each day an eagle would come and eat his liver. It would grow back the next day, only to have it eaten again in eternal torture.

"The Tyger," is full of questions about who created him. Blake's allusion to Prometheus is quite relevant and appropriate. It demonstrates the creator of another religion, as well as referring to the Christian creator, God.

Here, Prometheus is pictured enduring his torture.
