You might be thinking of Prometheus.  If you want to keep your liver for
the next 30,000 years, I can't recommend being cutesy with your sacrifice.
 Be thou of quiet mind and somber purpose.  

I'm afraid I'm a bit fuzzy on what's proper.  My daughter informs me that
Zeus objects to human sacrifice, so on no account would I go there.
