- Zeus gave Prometheus the task of creating man
- Along with creating mankind, he gave them knowledge of fire and how to use fire

Commentary: The main concept of this story is tricking people to get what they want. This can be shown in the work
A Midsummer Night's Dream. In the book, Puck, a clever trickster, plays tricks on a group of people who are walking in the forest.
