## Synopsis

*Join me as I explain the Greek myths surrounding the creation of mankind, the role of Prometheus, and the story of Pandora's Box in the dumbest way possible.*

## Plot

Jake Doubleyoo starts with his normal question of the video where he asks if people want to learn how humans were made in Greek Mythology before starting the episode.

Before the war known as Titanomachy, Cronus created humans and him and his family hung out with them until Zeus came to usurp his father. Then Prometheus the god of foresight saw that in the future Zeus would win the battle and so told him and his brothers just to watch from the sidelines. After the war was done Prometheus' prediction was correct and Epimetheus god of hindsight and Prometheus' brother stated the obvious and that it was a good idea for them to not side with Cronus much to Prometheus' annoyance. After the battle Zeus destroyed the humans created by his father and started over creating new humans who all looked like babies, when Prometheus asked how long the humans stayed as babies Zeus told him for 100 years give or take. When Prometheus asks what happened after 100 years one of the humans displayed it by growing old and dying which made Zeus realize he went about this all wrong.

Zeus then made new humans who unlike his last batch only took 20 years to grow up and then sent them to earth. Unlike the last 2 batches of humans however these humans did not get along and just tried to kill each other with fire so Zeus took fire away. This just made the new humans cold and angry and murder each other more, so Prometheus feeling bad about it began dealing fire with the humans until he was caught by Zeus who chained him to a rock while an eagle ate his liver everyday for eternity. Zeus then wondered how he would punish humans and so created the opposite gender also known as female (note: at the time between B.C.E and A.D. women were not always looked upon as good things) and had his son Hephaestus make a human named Pandora who was given gifts by the goddesses.

One of the gifts given to Pandora was a box that had some evil stuff that could end mankind, Prometheus then told his brother Epimetheus not to marry Pandora when Zeus asked her to because Zeus just wanted to end the human race. Epimetheus agreed with his brother but then married Pandora and she opened her box and then Epimetheus being that he's the god of hindsight stated the obvious again much to his brother's annoyance. Things got really bad for the humans because now they were both sick and still wanted to kill each other, so Zeus decided to pull the plug and flood earth to kill all humans, however Yahweh from Christianity/Catholicism/Baptism/Protestantism got mad that Zeus was taking credit for his idea but then Enki from Sumerian Mythology claimed that it was his idea first and the 2 got into an argument. While the 2 were arguing Jake came in and told them that this wasn't either of their stories and shooed them away with a sprayer, Deucalion then went to his father Prometheus who warned him of what Zeus was planning so Duecalion and his wife Pyrrha put themselves inside a box to protect themselves from the flood. Then when the flood was over they popped out and with them being the only people left on Gaia, Duecalion wanted to reproduce earth with his wife but Pyrrha didn't think it was physically possible.

Fortunately, Zeus came in and told them if they threw rocks around for an hour he would just turn the rocks into people, and so they did so and within an hour the human race was repopulated. Sometime later some Greek people started writing everything down but it got all worn out, then some Italians thought it was awesome, but some Latin people though there stuff was better starting a war. Then sometime later the Latin people though the Greek stuff was great but they still believed in their stuff, then some more time later a book was written in which a kid read and then became an animator and then decided to start a series on Greek mythology and then put his own original spin on it.
