QUIZ NUMBER 19

Nigel Roberts' 19th quiz has been inspired by the fact that NZAC
national president, Judy Reid, is a classics scholar. Here is another
picture. It's a famous 17th century painting by Van Baburen, and it
shows Prometheus being punished (for stealing fire from the gods and
giving it to humankind) by being chained to a mountain top by Hephaestus / Vulcan (while Hermes / Mercury looks grinningly on from the side).
Nigel Roberts' nineteenth quiz questions are, What is the modern name of the mountain to which Prometheus was chained, and why is the mountain particularly well-known?
