By Zeus' order Prometheus was chained to a rock on Mount Caucasus, and subjected to the attack of an eagle which, for ages, preyed upon his liver, yet succeeded not in consuming it.

And in fullness of time the hero did arrive: none other than the mighty Hercules. He killed the eagle and set Prometheus free.
