Caucasian Eagle

The Caucasian Eagle

 

The Caucasian Eagle was an offspring of Typhon and Echidna.

When Zeus had the Titan Prometheus bound to a crag, somewhere at the Caucasian mountains. Every day, the giant eagle would come and feed on Prometheus' liver. Prometheus lived centuries of torment from the Caucasian Eagle. In the eleventh labour, Hercules arrived and killed the Caucasian Eagle, by shooting it down with his arrow. Then Hercules broke the chain that had bounded Prometheus.
