Thank You Prometheus

Hercules did not come along for years Howling of an Olympian beagle So nightly Prometheus had his fears Daily arrival of dreaded eagle Zeus was enraged that man now had fire Prometheus knew he would pay the price Consequences were daily and dire Having your liver eaten is not nice He gave them the skills of metalwork too! Prometheus had really done it now. Angry Zeus now did not know what to do. Should he have him eaten by dairy cow? The trickster did us a favor of course. How else could we now shoe our happy horse?

I am ashamed that I know so little about Greek mythology. My education in that area was extremely limited.
