I love the liver-divinatory angle! Clearly Prometheus must have had a sense of this punishment coming to pass, the inevitability of his role, and his capacity to be the one to endure!
What is it about the constellation of the healer-diviner psychic web that perhaps has to suffer the pain of coming to consciousness, finding right relations…

On another note regarding Zeus' eagle as agent of citrinitas/sublimation, I was flipping through Hillman's Alchemical Psychology looking for some references and this quote jumped out...
"As the nigredo has its inconsolable wounds that lift into the whitened suffering of aesthetic sensitivity, so the yellow brings the pain of further knowledge derived from piercing insights, critical, cruel, the eagles and arrows of seeing sharp and true, insights that arrive suddenly together with the fire and fear regarding the cowardice, jealousy, choler, and decay that taints both opus and artifex."
The pain of further knowledge delivered from the eagle's sharp and true beak..hmmm...the plot thickens...
This is so cool! So much to think about here, I wonder if we can take these lenses, and look at related myths, like Lucifer, Loki, Amirani, Eden, even Maui, and see what else jumps out to us. This would be such a cool conversation to have, if you’re up for it I’ll reach out soon! 😄😄

Good thinking, a comparative exploration will likely flesh out the mythic map!
Definitely interested in continuing the convo. Is the podcast still in the works?
Sure is! Got delayed because of moving, but launching September 1—super excited!
Perfect, I’ll reach out this week to schedule—I am going to have so many questions about the alchemical side haha, thank you! ⚡️
Cool, chat soon!
