Document Summary
Work being the nature of what we experience: both stories, prometheus and the ages encompasses di erent aspects of what it means to be human. Or if you will, i will sum you up another tale well and skilfully and do you lay it up in your heart how the gods and mortal men sprang from one source. First of all the deathless gods who dwell on olympus made a golden race of mortal men who lived in the time of cronus when he was reigning in heaven. When they died, it was as though they were overcome with sleep, and they had all good things: for the fruitful earth without toil yielded up to them fruit abundantly and without stint. They dwelt in ease and peace upon their lands with many good things, rich in ocks and loved by the blessed gods.
