1. Hesiod's version: Creation begins with Chaos, or a formless mass; it progresses to ideas such as night (darkness) and light. It then moves into huge creatures, the Titans, who are the children of Mother Earth and Father Heaven; the myth finally arrives at the twelve Olympian gods, which are similar to humans in appearance and emotions. 2. According to one myth, Prometheus and Epimetheus are brother Titans, who are in charge of creation. 3. Epimetheus gives animals the gifts of speed, cunning, and protective covering; Prometheus gives man the gift of a nobler shape, standing upright like the gods. Then he defies Zeus and gives man the gift of fire, for which he is mercilessly punished by Zeus. 4. With each age, man becomes more inferior, just as metal decreases in value from gold to iron. First, there is the golden race, mortal but living like the gods; second, there is the silver race, inferior to the first; third is the brass race, terrible men who destroy themselves and give rise to a fourth race of men who are godlike heroes; and finally the fifth race of man, the iron race, which becomes intolerable to Zeus. see pages 71-72 9. Deucalion, Prometheus's son, and Pyrrha, Prometheus's niece and the daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora, are the two survivors. 10. The Stone People belong to a new race of people who come from rocks, which are considered the bones of Mother Earth. These rocks are thrown over the shoulders of Deucalion and Pyrrha.
