END OF THE GOLDEN AGE -    In the processes of creating mankind, Zeus accepted to provide almost everything but eternal fire. Prometheus, who created mankind with the clay from Eastern Africa (earth), under sun (heat), by Zeus’s saliva (water), Athena’s breathe (air) won’t be satisfied enough and feels as if something’s missing. He steals eternal fire from heaven by going against Zeus’s restrictions. There were many consequences when Zeus came to know but one is creating a woman. Till then there was only one gender preset, male kind. ( That’s why the name “man-kind” came into existence) . There’s no death. It’s called the “Golden Age”.

Right then, Persophone notices a rendering and roaring sound. It’s most like a thunder, yet when she looks up, she notices nothing but a clear sky but the earth seems to be shaki...
