Zeus and the Creation of Mankind
Storyboard Text
- Me too! I can't decide what powers I want to give to humans.
- I am so excited to pick out gifts for animals!
- Hey! You took all the powers to give to both the humans and animals. Now I have none to give to humans.
- Sorry!
- I need to come up with a superior and special gift that is helpful to humans.
- I've got an idea! I could give humans the gift of fire. It will help humans keep warm, cook food, and give them light at night.

- Prometheus and Epimetheus were creating humans and animals. Their job was to give animals and humans powers. Prometheus got to pick out powers for humans and Epimetheus was picking out powers for animals.
- Ok, I will help you.
- Athena, I need your help because I need to be able to get fire from heaven, and bring it back to Earth for humans.
- Prometheus then found out that Epimetheus took all the powers meaning Prometheus would have none to give to humans. Prometheus then became angry.
- This was an amazing gift! Thank you Prometheus!
- Prometheus did you steal fire from heaven and give it to humans?
- I sure did!
- Prometheus then tried thinking of a gift to give to humans. Prometheus then came up with the gift of fire to give to humans.
- These vultures will eat your liver forever! You should have never given humans fire!
- AHH!
- Prometheus then asked Athena for help to get access to heaven. He then took a lighted torch from the sun and ran back to Earth.
- Zeus was enraged at Prometheus because humans shouldn't have the gift of fire. Zeus was angry because he thought humans might become to too powerful because of their gift.
- Zeus then had his servants named Force and Violence to go and capture Prometheus. After they captured him, they chained him up. They let Prometheus lay there and get his liver eaten by vultures everyday for his punishment. Prometheus didn't mind the punishment because he was still proud of what gift he gave to humans.
