Prometheus and the creation of man
In this myth Prometheus and Epimetheus are proposed with the challenge of creating man because they did not fight with all of the other Olympians. Prometheus first gave Epimetheus the task of making some of the attributes of the man. Epimetheus had accidently given most of the good attributes away so man didn't quite have all good so they decided to make man like a god by making him stand and have fire. Prometheus liked man very much, even more than any of the Olympians who had previously banished his entire family. Zeus decided that man must have a portion of animal in them, Prometheus did not like this therefore he decided to trick Zeus by making two piles one with bones and one with real meat. Zeus was so mad that Prometheus had tried to trick him that he took away man's fire. Prometheus was then the one who was enraged so he got s torch from the sun and gave man fire again. Zeus had then gotten so mad that he put a punishment on man and on Prometheus. The punishment on man was that Zeus made a beautiful women and a jar that was forbidden to be opened. When Zeus sent the new women, Pandora, to see the men Epimetheus let her stay with them just like Prometheus has previously warned him not to do. The wonder of what was in the jar later got to big and they men and Pandora opened it and all bad things came out. Zeus was incredibly man at Prometheus and he put him on top of a mountain to be eaten by an eagle. Prometheus was later saved by Hercales.(Pontikis, Nick)
