 The Greek Goddess of confusion and chaos, Eris (aka Discordia to the
Romans) threw a Golden Apple into a party among the gods that she had been
snubbed and not invited to. It was engraved with the inscription, "To the
Fairist" and the goddesses argued about which of them was the fairest. A
Human hero (whose name I forget) was asked to decide and, I believe, he
decided it was Helen of Troy. This event led to the Trojan War and many
deaths.

 There is a modern non-religion called Discordianism (among other things)
which follows Eris/Discordia in a way. I'm a Lokian in the same sort of
sense usually.

Wassail,
Al

Prometheus was a Titan, one of the fathers of the Greek gods, and was
endowed with foresight.  When Zeus led the coup (after causing his
father, Kronos, to throw up his brothers and sisters) against the
Titans, Prometheus saw the outcome of the battle and sided with the
gods.  His brother, Epimetheus, followed suit.

When the world was to be populated, Prometheus and Epimetheus were
assigned the task.  Epimetheus, being (according to the myths) of
inferior intellect, created all of the animals and Prometheus created
the first humans.  

Ill equipped to survive, the first humans were certainly doomed to
extinction when winter rolled around, due to that unfortunate incident
with Proserpine and Hades.  So Prometheus petitioned Zeus to allow him
to give the humans fire, so that they would have a chance.  Zeus refused.

Having an artistic temperament and unwilling to see his masterpieces
perish, Prometheus ignited a brand in the sun and gave it to the humans,
who were undoubtedly thankful.  Zeus was mightily enraged but was
somewhat appeased when the first burnt sacrifices came.  However, some
wise ass decided to keep the good meat of the sacrificial cow and burn
the second-rate cuts, which was the final straw.

Zeus ordered Hephaestus to forge a chain and bind Prometheus to Mount
Caucasus, where a vulture arrived every day to peck out his liver. 
Being immortal, the liver grew back overnight for the torture to begin
anew.  

Thus Prometheus became the first humanist.

He was eventually freed, however, by Heracles.  As for Epimetheus, he
lived among the humans, and the gods, in order to teach humanity a
lesson, gave him the beautiful but weak-willed Pandora for a wife, with
complimentary box.

Hope this helps.
Matt.
