Even though Prolog and Erlang are very different languages that rely on very different paradigms, they do have one thing in common: recursion. Learning Prolog will force you to learn how to think recursively, and will make it easier to then learn Erlang.

That said I'm not sure it's a big win compared to learning Erlang directly.
