mythical beginning In the early days of Greek mythology Zeus wanted to make new creatures that looked like the Gods So he decided to make Man He had Prometheus make a man of clay and then Epimetheus was to give mankind a special gift But Epimetheus had used up all of the gifts on the animals So Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to man Zeus was very upset so he made a new creature He made it out of clay and called it Woman The first one was named Pandora and she received gifts from all the gods Pandora married Epimetheus and they had a great life of happiness But they were given a box that they could never open Pandora had to know what was inside She could not help herself One day she opened the box 4
A long long time ago Zeus thought it would be good to put people on Earth He picked two gods Prometheus and Epimetheus to create humans Prometheus took dirt and made it into a man 5
Prometheus and Epimetheus had given gifts to all the animals Claws wings shells and many other gifts were given But Epimetheus had used up all of the gifts There was nothing left to give man 6
So Prometheus went up to the heavens He stole fire and gave that to man Zeus was very angry He did not want man to have fire 7
