According to Greek mythology, Zeus, after creating living beings, He sent to earth to the brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus with the task of assigning to each of the different animal qualities and natural abilities. Some of them were provided with wings, others received swift legs, claws, protective shells, etc. When he reached the man, it should be superior to all other animals, Epimetheus had exhausted all resources. Then he turned to his brother Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods, assuring him the superiority of men over the other animals. As punishment to Prometheus, Zeus ordered Hephaestus that prendiera on Mount Caucasus, where every day an eagle came to devour his liver, which it was regenerated at night. Zeus also punished the men, with the creation of woman, Pandora, sent as a wife to Epimetheus. With Pandora, sends a closed jar containing a secret that should never be deciphered. Driven by an immense curiosity, Pandora opens the box, forever freeing the evils of humanity. At last, the hero Heracles frees Prometheus from his suffering. Zeus end up accepting the irreverence of the Titans, allowing them to live among mortals.
