A. Zeus was the king of all the Gods on Olympus. Prometheus was his friend and adviser. Zeus often followed his wise advice. Prometheus always came to Olympus but often went back early to the Earth. Zeus began to worry: «What do you find on Earth?»,
«Oh, king, I am a son of Earth and the green fields are dearer to me than this golden hall»
B. One day Zeus sent Hermes* to follow Prometheus and watch what he did. When he returned, he said:
«Oh, king of the Gods, he promised to bring people a wonderful gift.»
«What is it?» -asked Zeus.
«They don't know. But he told them it will be a good servant and a bad master».
It was fire. People knew nothing about it. Fire burnt only under the Earth and on Olympus. «Let no one give fire to the Earth people. Fire is for Gods only. If someone doesn't obey me, he will have a terrible punishment,» said Zeus.
C. But Prometheus didn't obey and gave fire to people. So people could warm themselves and were very happy. Zeus was so angry and gave a cruel punishment to him. He ordered to chain Prometheus to a rock. His sufferings were great.
«Oh, sky and winds! What wrong did I do? I gave people the gift of fire. It will serve them forever. I knew about the punishment, and I shall stand it.»
