Ovid confesses doesn"t know where humans were made says maybe prometheus made them out of mud or the first god which is not named created them. Prometheus- name=for thought thinking ahead, renowned for being a wise person, could reason things out. Prometheus fought on the side of olympians instead of the titans and so he was not sent to tartarus by zeus and could have developed men. Gods and humans get together to have meeting to decide how sacrifice is going to work. Prometheus represents the humans in these negations, he sacrifices an ox. He lays out two portions for zeus to choose between on one side take gross stuff like intestines and hides good stuff in there and then in the fat parts hides the gross stuff. The fatty part of the meat would attract the greeks. He makes mistake and takes the bad part of the meat, which. Zeus sees he"s making a mistake and makes it anyway.
