Features: Prometheus is a god in Greek mythology who brought blessings to humanity. The growth of humans attracted the attention of the gods in the heavens. They were willing to protect humanity but demanded absolute obedience. Thus, the gods held a conference in Mekone, Greece, to decide the rights and obligations of humans. Prometheus, as an advisor to humanity, attended the conference and was determined to find a way to prevent the gods from imposing too heavy a burden on humans. The gods who ruled the heavens lived freely on Mount Olympus and often visited the mortal world. The ruler of the gods, Zeus, had his own management system. He was a mild-tempered god who enjoyed a quiet life, but when he flew into a rage, he was feared by all. The gods controlled the fate of all things in heaven and earth and often interfered in human affairs, sharing the joys and sorrows of mortals. It was a summer afternoon when the gods gathered together. In harmony with the bright summer day, the gathering of the gods was filled with a peaceful atmosphere. It seemed that there were no grievances between the gods, and they all lazily enjoyed the beautiful time.
