The Caucasian Eagle

The Caucasian Eagle (kaw-kay-shin ee-gul) was a giant Greek eagle.

Mythology
The Caucasian Eagle was a giant eagle that fed on the ever-regenerating liver of Prometheus. Sometimes the eagle is described as an Automaton, while other times the eagle is described as a child of Typhon and Echidna.

Heracles killed the eagle when he came across Prometheus during one of his labors. The eagle was placed in the stars as the constellation Aquila.
