Earth, sea, and air were all mixed up together; so the earth was not solid, the sea was not fluid, and the air was not transparent. God and Nature at last interposed, and put an end to this discord, separating earth from sea, and heaven from both. The fiery1 part, being the lightest, sprang up, and formed the skies; the air was next in weight and place. The earth, being heavier, sank below; and the water took the lowest place, and buoyed2 up the earth. Here some god gave his good offices in arranging the earth. He appointed rivers and bays their places, raised mountains, scooped out3 valleys, distributed woods, fountains, fertile fields and stony plains. The air being cleared, the stars began to appear, fishes took possessions of the sea, birds of the air, and four-footed beasts of the land. But a nobler animal was wanted, and Man was made4 . It is not known whether the creator made him of divine materials, or whether in the earth, so lately separated from heaven, there lurked5 still some heavenly seeds. Prometheus took some of this earth, and kneading it up with water, made man in the image of the gods
He gave him an upright stature, so that while all other animals turn their faces downward, and look to the earth, he raises his to heaven, and gazes on the stars Prometheus was one of the Titans, a gigantic race who inhabited the earth before the creation of man to him and his brother Epimetheus was committed the office of making man, and providing him and all other animals with the faculties necessary for their preservation. Epimetheus undertook to do this, and Prometheus was to overlook his work. when it was done. Epimetheus accordingly proceeded to bestow upon the different animals the various gifts of courage, strength, swiftness, sagacity wings to one, claws to another, a shelly covering to a third, etc. But when man came to be provided for, who was to be superior to all other animals, Epimetheus had been so prodigal of his resources that he had nothing left to bestow upon him. In his perplexity he resorted to his brother Prometheus, who, with the aid of Athena(Minerva), went up to heaven, and lighted his torch at the chariot of the sun and brought down fire to man With this gift man was more than a match for all other animals It enabled him to make weapons wherewith to subdue them tools with which to cultivate the earth to warm his dwelling, so as to comparatively independent of climate; and finally to introduce the arts and to coin money, the means of trade and Zeus swore revenge. He ordered Hephaestus to make a clay woman, and the four winds to breathe life into and all the goddesses of Olympus to adorn her. This woman, Pandora, the most beautiful ever created, Zeus sent as gift to Epimetheus, under Hermes's escort. But Epimetheus, having been warned by his brother to accept no gift from Zeus, respectfully excused himself. Now er even than before Zeus had prometheus chained naked to a pillar in the Caucasian mountains, where a greedy vulture tore at his liver all day, year in, year out; and there was no end to the pain, because every night his liver grew whole again Epimetheus, alarmed by his brother's fate, hastened to marry Pandora, whom Zeus had made as foolish mischievous and idle as she was beautiful---the first of a long line of such women. Presently she opened a box, which Prometheus had warned Epimetheus to keep closed, and in which he had been at pains to imprison all the Spites that might plague mankind, such as Old Age, Labor, Sickness, Insanity, Vice and Passion.

24 He gave him an upright stature, so that while all other animals turn their faces downward, and look to the earth, he raises his to heaven, and gazes on the stars. Prometheus was one of the Titans, a gigantic race, who inhabited the earth before the creation of man. To him and his brother Epimetheus6 was committed the office of making man, and providing him and all other animals with the faculties necessary for their preservation. Epimetheus undertook to do this, and Prometheus was to overlook his work, when it was done. Epimetheus accordingly proceeded to bestow upon the different animals the various gifts of courage, strength, swiftness, sagacity7 ; wings to one, claws to another, a shelly covering to a third, etc. But when man came to be provided for, who was to be superior to all other animals, Epimetheus had been so prodigal8 of his resources that he had nothing left to bestow upon him. In his perplexity9 he resorted to his brother Prometheus, who, with the aid of Athena (Minerva), went up to heaven, and lighted his torch at the chariot of the sun and brought down fire to man. With this gift man was more than a match10 for all other animals. It enabled him to make weapons wherewith11 to subdue them; tools with which to cultivate the earth; to warm his dwelling, so as to be comparatively independent of climate; and finally to introduce the arts and to coin money, the means of trade and commerce. Zeus swore revenge. He ordered Hephaestus to make a clay woman, and the four Winds to breathe life into her, and all the goddesses of Olympus to adorn her. This woman, Pandora, the most beautiful ever created, Zeus sent as gift to Epimetheus, under Hermes’s escort. But Epimetheus, having been warned by his brother to accept no gift from Zeus, respectfully excused himself. Now angrier even than before, Zeus had Prometheus chained naked to a pillar in the Caucasian mountains, where a greedy vulture tore at his liver all day, year in, year out; and there was no end to the pain, because every night his liver grew whole again. Epimetheus, alarmed by his brother’s fate, hastened to marry Pandora, whom Zeus had made as foolish, mischievous12, and idle as she was beautiful---the first of a long line of such women. Presently she opened a box, which Prometheus had warned Epimetheus to keep closed, and in which he had been at pains to imprison all the Spites that might plague mankind, such as Old Age, Labor, Sickness, Insanity, Vice, and Passion. Out these flew in a cloud, stung Epimetheus and Pandora in every part of
their bodies and then attacked the race of mortals If Pandora had not shut the box so quickly, things would have gone much worse.

If he had gone out into the world, men would have known from childhood just what troubles were going to come to them every day of their lives, and they would never have had any joy or hope so long as they lived. Different Ages of Man The world being thus furnished with inhabitants, the first age was an age of innocence and happiness, called the Golden Age. Truth and right prevailed, though not enforced by law, nor was there any magistrate13 to threaten or punish.

The earth brought forth14 all things necessary for man, without his labor in ploughing or sowing. Perpetual spring reigned, flowers sprang up without seed, the rivers flowed with milk and wine, and yellow honey distilled15 from the oaks. Then succeeded the Silver Age, inferior to the golden, but better than that of brass. Jupiter shortened the spring, and divided the year into seasons. Then first, men had to endure the extremes of heat and cold, and houses became necessary. Caves were the first dwellings, and leafy16 coverts of the woods, and huts woven of twigs. Crops would no longer grow without planting. The farmer was obliged to sow the seed, and the toiling ox to draw the plough. The men were utterly subject to17 their mothers and dared not disobey them, although they might live to be a hundred years old.

Next came the Bronze Age, more savage of temper, and readier to the strife18 of arms, yet not altogether wicked. They ate flesh as well as bread, and delighted in war, being insolent19 and pitiless men. The fourth was the continuation of the Brazen Age, or the Age of Heroes, but men were noble and more generous, being begotten20 by the gods on mortal mothers

The ark floated for nine days until, at last, the waters subsided31, and it came to rest on Mount Parnassus32.
