Amirani / Prometheus

The location of Prometheus's punishment is often identified as the Caucasus Mountains, a rugged and majestic range that separates Europe from Asia. Interestingly, this mountainous region is also associated with the myth of Amirani, a hero from Georgian epic folklore.

Like Prometheus, Amirani rebels against the gods by introducing the use of metal to humanity, initiating the first Iron Age. His act of defiance leads to punishment, and like Prometheus, he is chained to the Caucasus Mountains, where an eagle devours his liver daily, only to regenerate each night, an eternal cycle of torment and renewal.
