Prometheus and Io
Caption: Io and Prometheus. Illustration for Tales of the Gods and Heroes by G W Cox (Thomas Nelson, c 1910).
Artist: Innes Fripp
This is showing that Prometheus was chained by a rock on Mt. Caucasus as a punishment for giving fire to humans. This also shows directly that Prometheus was a Titan, which was much larger than Io, the white heifer. This painting shows the situation when they met.

This painting show that Io and Prometheus met. But instead of showing Io as a white heifer, she looks more like a girl in this painting. This shows how Prometheus was chained by the rock. But this painting shows that Io is almost the same size as Prometheus, which should not be like this because Prometheus was a Titan, but Io was only a nymph. They should not be almost the same size.
