Prometheus | liebprom05: For having stolen the fire, Prometheus paid a high price, being severely punished by the Zeus, who ordered Hephaestus to nail Prometheus' body to Mount Caucasus. On a rock in that mountain, Prometheus was kept bound for many years. And every day an eagle swooped on him and devoured the lobes of his liver, which grew by night as much as the eagle had devoured during the day. After thirty thousand years of torture, Heracles 1 was sent to kill the eagle that ate Prometheus' heart or liver, and release the prisoner. Liebig sets.
