The myth of the Titan Prometheus provides an icon for RegMed. Prometheus was known as the benefactor of mankind for his desire to assist mortals and give them many beneficial gifts that helped them to survive and live prosperous lives. His duty as a god was to form man from water and earth, and in doing so, gave them each a gift of strength or speed, craftiness or wisdom, and many other benefactors that improved their ways of living. The most well-known gift of Prometheus was the gift of fire which Prometheus stole from Zeus’ lightning bolts. Prometheus’ defiance and betrayal provoked Zeus to have him chained to Mount Caucasus, where an eagle ate daily from his ever-regenerating liver. As an immortal Titan, Prometheus’ liver grew by night what the eagle had eaten the day before. His torture lasted 30,000 years until he was freed by Hercules.
