Battle of Olympus #4 - Prometheus Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

TeacherMike: It is with great sadness to report Olympus has fallen. The caching gods were no match for those of Olympus. I went out today to do maintenance on the whole series to find that too many of the cache locations had been compromised by deforestation and other issues. With these caches in here so tight as it was there was no room to adjust them at this time. But no worries. After some rest the caching gods will be back better then ever with a new series for everyone's enjoyment.

Geocache Description:


Pegasus

Prometheus was the wisest Titan. His name means "forethought" and he was able to foretell the future. He was the son of Iapetus. When Zeus revolted against Cronus Prometheus deserted the other Titans and fought on Zeus side.

By some accounts he and his brother Epimetheus were delegated by Zeus to create man. In all accounts, Prometheus is known as the protector and benefactor of man. He gave mankind a number of gifts including fire. He also tricked Zeus into allowing man to keep the best part of the animals sacrificed to the gods and to give the gods the worst parts.

For this Zeus punished Prometheus by having him chained to a rock with an eagle tearing at his liver. He was to be left there for all eternity or until he agreed to disclose to Zeus which of Zeus children would try to replace him. He was eventually rescued by Hercules without giving in to Zeus.

This cache is a Small Lock and Lock hidden just off the Burnham Centennial nature trail. Just be mindful of all the runners and walkers on the trail and at the right time of day there will be plenty of deer to see as well. There is no need to leave the woods to retrieve this cache. This cache contains partial coordinates for Battle of Olympus #6 - Hades . You will need these to continue your journey.
