... e Giove inflisse a Prometeo una tremenda punizione: lo incatenò a una rupe e mandò un avido avvoltoio a divorargli il naso, tutti i giorni, anno dopo anno.
Il tormento di Prometeo non aveva mai fine perché ogni notte il naso gli ricresceva rinnovando in eterno il suo supplizio.
...and Zeus inflicted a dreadful punishment on Prometheus: he chained him to a rock and sent a vulture to tear at his nose each day, year after year.
the torment of Prometheus was endless because every night his nose would grow back again and renew his torture forever

The main branch of the New York Public Library (NYPL) is located in the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building on 5th Avenue & 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan.
There's a lot to digest here. The building itself opened in 1911, after 14 years of construction on the former Croton Reservoir. On the east (Fifth Avenue) side of the building is the main entrance with the two lions -- Patience and Fortitude -- that are synonymous with the library. They were originally called Leo Astor and Leo Lenox, later called Lord Astor and Lady Lenox, then finally given these names by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia in the 1930s. (More on the former names to follow.) The west side of the library faces directly onto Bryant Park -- and these pictures are in the Bryant Park set because the library shares the block with the park, and extends underneath it.
The NYPL was created in 1895 mainly with the efforts of Samuel Tilden (who "lost" the 1876 presidential election, but that's a completely separate story). Tilden bequeathed a great deal to the creation, along with a donation of $5.2 million from Andrew Carnegie, and the libraries of John Jacob Astor and James Lenox (hence the original names of the lions).
Regarding the collection, it's hard to say what all is in it. The main branch here stopped being a circulating library in the 1970s, and is now one of four research libraries in the system. There are 2.5 million pieces in this collection, located in 9 divisions of this branch. The first (original) Gutenberg Bible purchased outside of Europe is located here.
The interior of the library is as impressive as the exterior. The main attraction inside is Room 315, the Rose Main Reading Room. You can only see the reading room on a guided tour (unless, of course, you're actually doing research). Otherwise, you have to stand outside the door and stare inside, but you can only see the Bill Blass Public Catalog Room from the rotunda.
Speaking of the rotunda, the McGraw Rotunda contains four panels by Edward Laning that were part of a works project in the 1940s. The entrance to the main reading room is on the west side of the rotunda. Opposite on the east side is the Salomon Room.
The main branch was immediately popular, and receives millions of visitors a year. It's so popular that it's a character (background, or sometimes main character) in movies, television, books, and even poetry, and has been for almost one hundred years.
Among the films you can see the library are:
42nd Street (1933), On the Town (1949), Pickup on South Street (1953), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), Network (1976), Ghostbusters (1984), The (remake of the) Thomas Crown Affair (1999), Spider-Man (2002), John Wick 3 (2019), and many others.
A Seinfeld episode (The Library) was filmed here. In books, you can find the main branch referenced as early as Lawrence Blochman's Death Walks in Marble Halls (1942) to Lynne Sharon Schwartz's Writing on the Wall (2005), and a few in between. "A Library Speaks" and "Reading Room" by E.B. White (Charlotte's Web) are poems about the library.
I've been to New York plenty of times, but haven't taken a tour of the library, but the more I learn about it...the more I'm inclined to go back.
Mount Prometheus is the centerpiece for Tokyo DisneySea, inspired by Jules Verne stories and home to the "Journey to the Center of the Earth" ride. Unfortunately for me the ride was closed for refurb during my stay :-(
In any case it was a great joy to enjoy the views of the volcano.... incredibly themed by Disney Imagineers.

"From the company that gave the world its most advanced space vehicle of the 21st century, comes a new design even more impressive than the last. Heliades, the galaxy’s first ever FTL vehicle, has been the proud flagship of the Weyland Transportation division since 2034. Today, after thirty-eight years of development, Weyland announces the newest member of its impressive fleet: the larger, safer, FTL-capable, Prometheus. "
