Prometheus and the Liver through Art and Medicine

2022 || Hardcover || Julia van Rosmalen e.a. || Amsterdam University Press

Prometheus was punished by the supreme god Zeus for giving to mankind the Olympic fire with which they learned to think and feel. He was chained to a cliff in the Caucasus, where, to make matters worse, he was visited daily by an eagle who ate part of his liver. At night, however, his liver grew back.
