The Story of Prometheus

Once upon a time in the old,old days there are

two brothers.They are not like men but they
are ones that like a god that lives in the
mountain top.They are the sons of the titans
that fought the Jupiter.And been sent to the
bars to the strong prison-house in the lower
world.

The elder of these brothers was Prometheus,or

Forethought;his name come from his ability
that he was always thinking about the future
and making things to get ready what might
happen tomorrow,or next week,or next year,or
it maybe happen hundred or thousand to
come.The younger brother was Epimetheus, or
Afterthought;his name come from his ability
that he always so busy thinking about
yesterday,or last year,or it was a hundred or
thousands of years ago,that he had no care
what might come to pass after a while.

For some cause

Jupiter had not sent this brothers to
prison with the rest of the Titans and Giants

Prometheus did not

care to live amid the clouds on the
mountain top.He was too busy for that.While
the Mighty Folk were spending their time in
idleness,drinking nectar and eating ambrosia,
he was commanded to the position upon the
plans to making the world wiser and better that
it had ever been before.

He went amongst the men to live with

them and help them always;for his heart was
filled with sadness when he found that they
were no longer happy as they had been during
the good glory days when Saturn was the king.
Ah,how very poor and wretched
they were!He found them living in caves and in
the holes of the earth,shaking with the cold
because there was no fire at all,dying because
of starving,hunted by wild beast roming around
and by one another-the most miserable of all
living creatures.
”If they only had fire”said
Prometheus to himself, “They could at least
warm themselves and cook their food to fight
with the starvation;and after a while they could
learn to make tools and build themselves a
shelter. Without fire,they are worse off than
the beast and hungry lions”
Then he went boldly to Jupiter and begged him
to give men fire,so that they might have a nice
comfort to the long freezing months of winter.
