Prometheus was the Titan God of forethought in Greek mythology and a champion of humankind. He made the first men out of clay and tricked Zeus into letting the humans keep the best meat from their burnt offerings, so Zeus took away humankind's fire. Prometheus stole the fire back from Zeus's altar and gave it back to the humans. Zeus found out and for punishment, chained Prometheus to a rock wall where, every day, an eagle would come and eat his liver. Overnight the liver would grow back and the eagle would always come back the next day. This ongoing torment went on until Prometheus was eventually rescued by Hercules.

 Hints

Check the spot closest to the gods. Some think Prometheus was chained at the peak of the mountain.

I think the fence guys are finished with construction here, so went ahead a replaced. I check again in a couple of weeks and make sure it stayed put.

The HOA is about to replace the nearby fence, so I went to remove the cache before temporarily disabling it until construction was done, but I couldn't find it. Hopefully, construction will be done in the next couple of weeks and I will replace after that.

Peace love pi and I decided to do some pre-Christmas caching today. We didn't really have a plan, but ultimately decided on Anthem Park and around Sheridan. I don't know if it was everyone doing some last minute shopping or the cold-ish weather, but we had a pretty muggle free day. We had snow flurries, so "caching through the snow" kept playing through my head. Peace love pi laughed at me because I was freezing and layered up like the Stay-Puft marshmallow man. This was our first stop outside the park, and we agreed it seemed to be getting just a little warmer. I really wanted this one to be in a certain place, but peace love pi followed the hint and she made the find. Thanks for the cache! Find #3074

Out caching with lasouthpaw on this chilly morning. I had a DNF in the nearby park so was happy to be back in the area in a snake-free season to avenge that and complete the rest of the park. We headed this way to do a few more before calling it a day. TFTC! All is well with this cache.
