[QUOTE="nevin, post: 9065262, member: 7024481"] who said Zues couldn't be tricked? Promethus tricked zues in mankinds favor at the test of mecone. In all but the latest versions of that myth Prometheus wrapped the ox skin around the bones to make it look bigger and fuller and in the other pile put most of the meat and fat and covered it with the ox's stomache. Zues picked the skin and bones as what would become the sacrifice and was so pissed off that he'd been tricked he refused to let mankind have fire. Only in the very late version by Hesiod did zues see through the trick. The gods tricked and hid stuff from each other all the time. The other "gods" you are refferring too are more PRIMAL powers like Nict (night), or Oceanus the titan who is literally the manifestation of all the water that flows around the earth and through the universe or fate etc. Those powers were literally undefeatable in thier own element. Night's children many times in the myths ran to thier mother to hide from Zues after they upset him. Zeus had no special powers that prevented him from being fooled. He just punished those who fooled him harshly in the most inappropriate and horrible way he could. Prometheus helped mankind so Zeus screwed Humankind. Thus the reason Prometheus gave fire to mankind because it was his fault they were all cold and freezing. [/QUOTE]
