Helios towing the sun across the heavens, symbolizing Prometheus finally seeing the light of day.
Artemis mourns the death of her eagle Aethon
Heracles snaps and breaks the chains of adamantine, forged by the god Hephaestus
Prometheus stumbles to freedom after a century in chains and torment
Detail of Heracles unraveling the chains surrounding Prometheus
Close-up of Prometheus stumbling to find his legs and stand erect
Background detail of an oak tree, forests, hills and mountains in the distance
More hills lakes and trees in the distance, with Heracles bow and arrow at rest
Heracles impervious cloak skin of the Nemean Lion tossed off to the side
