Etymology Name is derived from the type locality inside Prometheus Cave. The cave was named after Prometheus, the Titan of Greek mythology, who created mankind from clay, stealing the fire from gods and providing it to humanity. As punishment, he was eternally bound to a rock at Caucasus Mountains, where each day an eagle was sent to feed on his liver. [details]
