Sagitta, the Arrow was catalogued by Ptolemy in the second century. There are several myths associated with this arrow. One is the tale of Prometheus, who created people out of clay and gave them fire. This angered Zeus, who chained Prometheus to a rock on Mount Kazbegi in the Caucasus. Daily an eagle feasted on his liver, which regrew each night. Heracles (Hercules) killed the eagle, freeing Prometheus from this torture.
