i’ll add on to asking what the hell you’re on about, prometheus very clearly and literally has his liver eaten, am i a hypochondriac if my hand gets chopped of and i start screaming?
yeah but he doesn’t die, so in a sense it’s imagined, because if the eagle was really eating his liver, he’d obviously die. so, he just experiences it as if an eagle was eating his liver.
what do you mean “in a sense”? the story is pretty dang straight-forward: he’s bound to a rock, an eagle eats his liver every day, over night it grows back. It’s not in any way shape or form hypochondric, it’s just magical torture.
you really have to actively want it to be hypochondria to find a way to interpret it as such.
