Perry's Index to the Aesopica
Perry reserves 467 for the satyr who wanted to embrace the fire but who
was warned not to do by Prometheus. The anecdote is found in Plutarch,
De capienda ex inimicis utilitate 2.
You can find a compilation of Perry's index to the Aesopica in the gigantic appendix to his
edition of Babrius and Phaedrus for the Loeb Classical Library
(Harvard University Press: Cambridge, 1965). This book is an absolute must for anyone interested
in the Aesopic fable tradition. Invaluable.
