Prometheus is the best example most people would be familiar with. Fire represents knowledge, so the theme fits. Many other civilizations have myths about stealing fire, but they're usually attributed to a generic trickster, rebel, or indigenous animal that's viewed as cunning. In the US, this is usually a rabbit, hare, or sometimes a crow.

Besides stealing fire, a journalist, printing press operator, scribe, archivist, record-keeper, librarian, or something like that might also fit.
