For this English assignment I’m working on I’m supposed to explain how the story of Prometheus and Epimetheus creating humans/wildlife “teaches a theme, reveals values, or teaches a moral lesson.” I think of the story as; Prome and Epi are instructed to create stuff to populate earth, Epi is bad at planning ahead so he makes humans weak, Prome feels bad for the humans so he helps them out, and then he steals fire from the heavens to give to them, and then Zeus gets mad and boom an eagle is pecking his liver out everyday. The theme? No idea. Please help

Answer: i'm gonna wing this one lol, but I think the theme is while no one is perfect (especially epi), it is important to find the strengths that reside in us, even though we still have our own weaknesses and mistakes.

hope this sorta helped!
