Half of the shell went into the air and became 

the sky and the other became the Earth. Eros 

named the sky Uranus and the Earth he 

named Gaia. Then Eros made them fall in 

love.

Some of their children were scared of their 

children. Kronus, in an effort to protect 

himself, ate his children when they were still 

babies. His wife Rhea hid their youngest child. 

She gave him a rock wrapped in swaddling 

clothes, which he ate, thinking it was his son

When Zeus had become an adult, his mother 

told him how to get his brothers and sisters 

back from his father. The children fought a war 

against their father. After much fighting the 

children won. With Zeus as their leader, they 

began to fill Gaia with life and Uranus with 

stars.

Soon the Earth needed only two things. Man 

and animals, Zeus summoned his sons 

Prometheus and Epimetheus. He told them to 

go to Earth and create men and animals and 

give them each a gift.

Epimetheus worked on making animals. 

As Epimetheus worked he gave each animal he 

created one of the gifts. After Epimetheus had 

completed his work 

Prometheus finally finished making men. 

However when he went to see what gift to give 

man Epimetheus told him that he had used all 

the gifts. Worried, Prometheus decided to give 

man fire, even though gods were the only ones 

meant to have it. As the sun god went to the 

world the next morning Prometheus took some 

of his fire and brought it back to man. He 

taught them how to take care of it and then 

left them.

When Zeus found out Prometheus' deed he 

became furious. He ordered his son to be stuck 

to the ground and for a duck to hug him every 

day till eternity. Then he began to devise a 

punishment for mankind. Another of his sons 

created a woman of great beauty, Pandora.

Each of the gods gave her a gift. Zeus' present 

was curiosity and a box which he ordered her 

never to open. Then he gave her to 

Epimetheus as a wife. Pandora's life with 

Epimetheus was happy except for her want to 

open the box. She was convinced that because 

the gods and goddesses had gave her so many 

glorious gifts, that this one would also be 

wonderful.
