Ichor in Classical Myth
Prometheus was a Titan who stole fire from the gods and gave it to the mortals. Prometheus was punished by Zeus for all eternity. Prometheus was chained to a rock for his liver eaten by an eagle. His liver would then regrow, just to be eaten again, repeated for all eternity. Prometheus bled Ichor, a golden blood-like substance that would sprout a magical herb when it touched the ground.

"It [a magical herb] first appeared in a plant that sprang from the blood-like ichor of Prometheus in his torment, which the flesh-eating Eagle had dropped on the spurs of Kaukasos (Caucasus)."

Pop culture
Ichor appears throughout the popular young adult series Percy Jackson, written by Rick Riordan. Its first mention is in the first book of the series, The Lightning Thief, when Percy Jackson injures Ares, the god of war.
