He was chained to a cliff in the Caucasus, where, to make matters worse, he was visited daily by an eagle who ate part of his liver. At night, however, his liver grew back. We now know that the liver can regenerate, but were the ancient Greeks aware of this quality? The myth of Prometheus has been a source of inspiration for many visual artists over the centuries. In this book, the medical history of the liver is traced through the ages through an examination of historical texts on the organ?s functions and properties, parallel to the art movements in which the fascinating iconography of Prometheus is reviewed. The book offers a surprising interplay of art and medicine, placing emphasis on the unique morphology of the liver. 606 $aART / Subjects & Themes / General$2bisacsh 610 $aPrometheus, myth, art, liver, medicine. 615 7$aART / Subjects & Themes / General. 700 $aRosmalen$b Julia, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01251878 702 $aGulik$b Merel, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aRosmalen$b Belle, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996483168803316 996 $aPrometheus and the Liver through Art and Medicine$92901832 997 $aUNISA
