You can learn a lot about Greek culture from the Myth of Prometheus. In the myth, the Greeks show us that just like humans, the emotions and actions of gods change. Observe how Zeus is different in this myth compared to The Children of Cronus. Also, gain an understanding of how humans came to be, the importance of fire, and the importance of sacrifice for the sake of progress.
