In the works and days by hesiod - series where the gods created the golden race. This was the perfect existence that took place under the power of kronos; the time before zeus . Golden race passed away; by this time the universe was ruled by zeus. After the golden race, the race of bronze came up. Strength of ash makes it suitable for spear-shafts. A warrior race devoted itself to the works of ares the war-god.

Race of iron - the world of our present. Titan prometheus ( forethought ) - son of iapetos & oceanid klymene. Prometheus said to be construct the humans from water & earth.
