On the edit, the title change did a good job of clarifying the setting and what's at stake. I can accept being unnerved by the seagull being reminded of the eagle and the nearly endless torment.
A couple things to think about though so Prometheus made a gift to man, and by naming the poem, "The Prometheus Man" is man then the source of their own freedom and enlightenment? Who then has chained this man (or all mankind) in punishment for leaving behind other beliefs? The angels also seem a bit out of place as they seem more judeo christian and less greek. It still works as a metaphor but feels slightly mismatched.
Best,
Todd
