The gods decide how to punish man...
“Fire was not meant for humans,” Zeus said.
“We’ve punished Prometheus, but humans need to pay for accepting the gift,” Hephaestus said.
“How so?” asked Aphrodite.
“There is only one trouble that we have that humans do not have,” Hermes said.
“What?” the goddesses asked.
“Woman,” the gods replied.
“Hermes, fetch the clay,” commanded Zeus.
