(1)There once lived a race of huge giants called Titans. These giants were fierce, turbulent , and lawless-always fighting among themselves and against Jupiter, the king of the gods. (2)One of the Titans,"whose name was Prometheus was wiser than the rest. He often thought about what would be likely to happen in the future. (3)One day, Prometheus said to his brother Titans:"What is the use of wasting so much strength? In the end, wisdom and forethought will win. If we are going to fight against the gods, let us choose a leader and stop quarrelling among ourselves." (4)The Titans answered him by a shower of great rocks and uprooted trees. (5)Prometheus, after escaping unhurt, said to his younger brother. "Come, Epimetheus, we can do nothing among these Titans, If they keep on, they will tear the earth to pieces.Let us go and help Jupiter to overcome them." (6)Epimetheus agreed to this and the two brothers went over to Jupiter, who called the gods together and began a terrible battle. The Titans tore up enormous boulders and cast them at the gods, while Jupiter hurled his thunderbolts and his lightnings in all directions . Soon the sky was a sheet of flame, the sea boiled, the earth trembled, and the forests took fire and began to burn. (7)At last the gods -partly by the help of the wise counsel of Prometheus-conquered the Titans, took them to the ends of the earth, and imprisoned them in a deep underground cavern. Neptune, the sea-god, made strong bronze gates with heavy bolts and bars, to keep the giants down,while Jupiter sent Briareus and his brothers.three giants with fifty heads and a hundred hands each, to stand guard over them. (8)All but one of the Titans who had fought against the gods were imprisoned in this cavern. This one who was not shut in with the others was Atlas, whose enormous strength was greater than that of his brothers, while his disposition was less quarrelsome. He was made to stand and hold up the sky on his hand and hande
