long ago, before humans walked the Earth, the world was watched over by Gaia, the Earth-mother of all things, and Uranus, the Sky-father. These were the first gods. They were the elements who did not just make the world - they were the world.

These first gods gave birth to a race called the Titans, who looked like humans, only they were giants who had superpowers. Uranus, the sky god, was afraid of his children, fearing they might rebel against his rule. To keep his throne safe, he imprisoned them beneath the surface of the Earth, where all they could do was rage and shake the ground.

Now Gaia, the Earth Goddess, loved her children and wanted to set them free. To help them, she made a sickle.

Imagine a shiny, sharp blade curved like a crescent moon. Farmers use it to easily slice through tall grasses and grains.

She placed this sickle into the hands of her eldest and strongest son, Cronus. Holding the sickle high, Cronus cried out, “Revolution!” and led the Titans up to the surface of the world. There, he did battle with his father, Uranus, and with a powerful strike, he wounded him terribly, defeating him.

Uranus limped off the scene, and now the Titans now ruled the world. They, in turn, gave birth to a third generation of gods. Their names may be familiar to you: Zeus (son of Cronos), Hera, Apollo, and Athena, among others. These young gods made their home on top of Mount Olympus and were known as the Olympians.

But before too many aeons had gone by, the wheel of fortune turned once more!

Zeus led a counter-revolution against father Cronus and the Titans.

A great civil war called the Titanomachy erupted, in which the Titans fought the Olympians, and fathers fought sons. In the end, Zeus and the young Olympian gods emerged victorious.

They cast the Titans down into eternal darkness known as the Abyss. But two of the Titans had stayed out of the war and received mercy. The two Titans who were spared were named Prometheus and Epimetheus - meaning forethought and after thought.

Prometheus and Epimetheus each had their own unique qualities. Prometheus was wise and thoughtful, always planning ahead, while Epimetheus was impulsive, often acting without thinking things through. In fact, the only wisdom that Epimetheus ever learned came from his own mistakes.

Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods, ordered Prometheus and Epimetheus to populate the Earth with mortal creatures.

And so they set about creating creatures out of clay.

Epimetheus made a nice collection of animals, from elephants to cows to humans. The goddess Athena breathed life into them.

Meanwhile his brother Prometheus made human beings. He lovingly crafted them into upright shapes that walked on two legs—just like the gods themselves. However, unlike the gods, humans were small, puny, and helpless creatures, more worthy of pity than reverence.

Epimetheus gave each of his animals special gifts. He gave the birds their wings, the fish their ability to swim, and the lions their mighty roars. But by the time he finished, Epimetheus realised he had used up all the special gifts.

Which meant that the most remarkable thing about the humans was that they lacked any gifts at all. In fact, they were the most useless of all the living things! Prometheus had to change that.

He saw the animals that his brother had made—for instance, the cow that enjoyed chewing on grass and the dog that loved to yap—and he had an ambition to create something far more interesting.

He said to himself:

“My human beings shall burn inside with a hunger for knowledge that sets them apart from the other animals.”

He had in mind a heavenly gift —the gift of fire to light up the darkness and make the hearts of the humans burn with passion, anger, love, and thirst for knowledge.

But there was one problem: Zeus had ruled that divine fire was reserved for gods. He did not want any other creatures to rival the gods for creativity and passion.

Prometheus, however, was determined. One night, he climbed up to Mount Olympus, home to the gleaming palace of the gods. He crept inside the palace and approached the sacred hearth where an eternal flame burned. From the fireplace of the gods, he took a glowing ember and hid it inside a hollow reed. Silently, he descended from Olympus and brought the fire down to Earth where he gave it to his humans. They delighted in this wonderful gift, and used it to cook meals, forge tools, and keep warm. With light and fire, they gained knowledge, and they began to build civilisations.

These were wonderful times for humans. They had everything they needed. Nothing to kill or die for. They lived only in peace.

But it was not long before Zeus saw the fires burning on Earth and smelt the smoke rising from human homes. He realised that he had been robbed! And his suspicion immediately fell on crafty Prometheus, the creator of the humans. He thundered:

“You delight that you deceived me, but not for long. Your humans shall pay the Price of Suffering in return for the stolen gift of fire!”

opened the jar. As soon as she had lifted the lid, a tornado of evils and sorrows that had been trapped inside rushed out -pandemics, envy, greed, and more. Thousands, no! Millions of troubles spread around the world and infected the hearts of every human.

Thus the life of humans changed profoundly, for the worse.

No more leisure, instead humans had to toil in the hot sun to grow their food.

No more peace, instead humans fought wars against one another.

No more long life, instead humans grew old, and sick and senile.

Terrified, Pandora quickly closed the jar, but it was too late. From that day on, humans experienced suffering.

Suffering is the punishment that Zeus has given to humankind, because we enjoyed the stolen gift of fire - a gift that was meant to be reserved for the gods.

Only one property remained inside Pandora’s jar—Hope. Hope was all that humans had left. Some might call it foolishness, some might call it the emotion that keeps us going - but humans always live in hope that one day, life will get better, and suffering will come to an end.
