So Prometheus was a good guy and helped out the humans, I think the biggest thing he did was give us fire, which of course changed the course of humanity. Zeus got pissed and chained him to a rock on a Mountain peak, where an eagle or vulture would stop off and eat on his liver all day. Overnight, because Prometheus was immortal, his liver would regrow. So there he stayed chained to a rock on that mountain getting his liver eaten all day in agony, for thousands of years. Since it's said that the Mountain to which Prometheus was chained was in the Caucasus Mountains, sometime in those thousands of years, Prometheus must have watched Colchicum laetum evolve. Or maybe not if he couldn't see the lower elevation forest, Steppes and foothill meadows from Southern Russia down to the Caucasus Mountains.
