Episode description
With the universe now under the control of Zeus and the Olympians, the uninhabited world now had to peopled with humans. In this episode, I discuss several different ideas on the creation of humans held by the ancient Greeks. But regardless of how humans came to be, Hesiod says the Titan Prometheus took it upon himself to look after them. Prometheus ended up going against the will of Zeus and was punished accordingly.
