They were a cold people, however, and Prometheus did not love them.
He went to Æolus again and this time South Wind and the zephyrs came with him.
South Wind brought the people green grass and flowers and birds.
The zephyrs showed them how to laugh and cry and sing and dance.
But the people were stupid.
They lived like ants in dark caves.
Prometheus saw that there was only one thing which would help them.
That was fire.
Fire was the most precious thing Zeus had, and he kept it ever burning around his throne.
When Prometheus asked for fire Zeus was angry.
