After the Titanomachy, Zeus had rewarded Prometheus for his loyalty by handing them the extraordinary responsibility of populating the newly formed Earth. The victorious king of gods commanded him and his brother, Epimetheus, to create all creatures that would walk, swim, fly and crawl across the planet. The monumental task that would soon determine the fate all living beings. As Epimetheus finished outfitting all animals, he discovered he had exhausted the qualities Zeus had provided. As a result, there was nothing left to give for humanity. Humanity would be left naked, vulnerable and defenseless in a world filled with equipped creatures.
