More on Prometheus

My son, Chase, just pointed out that Prometheus must have had a very large liver to feed an eagle day after miserable day. Though it is also possible this was a very small eagle. In any case, the whole notion of this episode is, in the fashion of all great greek legends, fraught with implausibilities.

Chase further notes, with a carefully cloaked James Bond reference, that this same liver was probably the reason Prometheus did not die. In other words ...Liver let die. He couldn't help himself. It was right there.
