It's said that this is the most photographed monumental sculpture in the city.
Created by American sculptor, Paul Manship, who had an interest in mythological subjects and events.
Its central theme is best stated by the quote that’s carved in the red granite wall behind him, taken from Aeschylus: “Prometheus, Teacher in Every Art, Brought the Fire That Hath Proved to Mortals a Means to Mighty Ends.”
The cave at Kumistavi in Imereti is named after Prometheus which many believed thad been chained to the Khvamli Mountain nearby. Some also say that it was mixed up with the Caucasian legend of Amirani, who like Prometheus, angered the gods and was punished and locked inside a huge cave.
The cave was only discovered in 1983, and today tourist has the opportunity to explore about a tenth of the cave, which runs about a kilometer long within the cave complex.
