Promethius and The Men

When the earth was young, Promethius, a god that did not want to live on Mt. Olympus, departed to live among men. Arriving at his destination, he found the men freezing and starving to .
Promethius begged Zeus to offer the gift of fire to the men, but Zeus refused to help. But Promethius was determined to find a way. He discovered a reed and lit it on Apollo’s flaming chariot. Then he yelled, “Zeus is a tyrant! Men shall have fire!”
Fire helped the men greatly. Promethius showed them how to build more fires from the embers and stay warm. They also learned how to build houses, tame livestock, and farm. He also showed them how to cook food and dine like men, not savages. They lived warmly and happily ever after.
