Who was the Titan god of forethought who created humans?

The Titan god of forethought who created humans was Prometheus.

Prometheus is a Titan associated with forethought, intelligence, and practical wisdom. Ancient sources make him a son of Iapetus, with Asia or Clymene commonly named as his mother, and a brother of Atlas, Epimetheus, and Menoetius. His name is traditionally connected with the idea of thinking ahead, in contrast with Epimetheus, whose name suggests afterthought.

Different Greek traditions vary over Prometheus’s exact role in human creation. Some accounts credit him with forming humans from clay. In Plato’s Protagoras, however, the gods create humans and animals, while Prometheus and Epimetheus distribute abilities among them. Epimetheus uses up the natural gifts on other creatures, leaving humans vulnerable, so Prometheus gives them fire and civilizing arts.

Prometheus’s theft of fire from Olympus becomes the best-known part of his story. Zeus punishes him by chaining him to a mountain, where an eagle repeatedly eats his liver, which regenerates. Heracles eventually frees him in a later tradition. Prometheus is therefore more than a creator figure: he represents technological knowledge, defiance, and concern for humanity.
