About this book

In the Greek myth, Prometheus is punished by Zeus for giving fire to mankind. He is chained to a cliff in the Caucasus, where an eagle eats part of his liver each day, and the liver grows back overnight.

Today we know that the liver can regenerate. The book asks whether the ancient Greeks were aware of this quality, and it looks at the question through both art and medicine.
