Wayenzani uPrometheus?
Wayephethe ukudala isintu; ake sibone ukuthi wahlanganyela kanjani kule nqubo. Ekuqaleni, yena nomfowabo u-Epimetheus banikwa umsebenzi wokudala izilwane kanye nohlanga lwabantu , kanye nokuzinikeza konke okudingekayo ukuze ziphile, okuhlanganisa izimo zomzimba kanye nendawo yokuhlala yohlobo ngalunye.
U-Epimetheus waqala ngokwakha izilwane. Wazenza zohlobo oluhlukile futhi wanika ngayinye izici ezihlukile komunye nomunye. Ngokusho kwezinganekwane, ukuhlukahluka kwezidalwa eziphilayo kwakuwumkhiqizo womcabango walo mlingiswa. Lapho umuntu kufanele aklame, wabiza uPrometheus, ngakho-ke phakathi kwabo bobabili babengenza okuthile okuhle, okwangempela.

Lesi senzo saphawula ukuqala kokuziphindiselela kunkulunkulu wonkulunkulu kuTitan.
Njengokungathi lokho akwanele, ehlose ukunikeza abantu bomhlaba ukudla okumnandi, wakhohlisa uZeus okwesibili ngokumkhohlisa ngomnikelo wenkabi . Lokhu kwakuhloselwe onkulunkulu, kodwa uPrometheus ngobuhlakani wakunika abantu ukuze bakwazi ukudla ngaleso sikhathi. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuqhubeke, unkulunkulu wamemezela izijeziso zamaGreki ezinonya kakhulu ku-titan ophanayo, njengesijeziso ngenxa yobuqili bakhe obungenakuthethelelwa.
