The first generation of humans created by the gods is the golden generation. At that time, the one who ruled the kingdom of heaven was Kronos (i.e. Sathun ). This generation lives like a god. They are carefree, have no heavy labor, no worries or poverty. The earth provided them with all kinds of fruits. The abundant grassland was filled with cattle and sheep. They worked peacefully and would hardly age. When they felt that the death was coming, they sank into a peaceful and long sleep. When the God of Destiny judged that the generation of gold disappeared from the earth, they all became merciful patrons, coming and going in the clouds, they were donors of all good deeds, upholding the law and justice, and punishing all sins.
Later, the gods used silver to create the second generation of humans. They are different from the first generation of humans in both appearance and spirit. The spoiled child lives at home and is spoiled and cared for by his mother. They have maintained their childhood for a hundred years and are mentally immature. By the time their children enter their prime, they only have a few short years left in their lives. The unrestrained behavior has put this generation in the abyss of suffering because they cannot control their intense feelings. They are intrigue and violate the law and discipline without scrupulously, and no longer offer sacrifices to gods. Zeus is very angry and wants to destroy this race from the earth because he doesn't want to see someone blasphemy. Of course, this race is not useless, so they are honored to obtain grace and can roam the earth as devils after their lives are terminated.
The Father Zeus created the third generation of human beings. That is, bronze humans. This generation is completely different from those of the Silver Age. They are cruel and rude, only knowing war and always fighting each other. Everyone has to do everything possible to insult others. They specialize in eating animal meat and are unwilling to eat all kinds of fruits in the fields. Their stubborn will is as hard as diamond , and people are also extremely tall and strong. They used bronze weapons, lived in bronze houses, and used bronze farm tools to cultivate fields, because there was no iron at that time. They kept fighting, but although they were terrible, they could not resist death. After they left the clear and bright land, they descended into the gloomy and terrifying underworld.
When this generation also descended into the underworld, Zeus created the fourth generation. This generation should live in a fertile land, nobler and more just than before. They are a generation of godly heroes, that is, the heroes of the ancient demigods. But in the end they were also trapped in war and vendetta. Some fell in front of the seven gates of the city of Thebes in order to seize the territory of King Oedipus; some stepped onto the warship for the beautiful Helen and fell in the fields of Troy. When they ended their survival on earth in war and disaster, Zeus sent them to the island of Prairie, where they lived and lived. The Pilgrim Island is in the sea in the horizon, with beautiful scenery. They live a peaceful and happy life, and the rich earth provides them with sweet fruits three times a year.
Ancient poet Hezea sighed when talking about the legend of humanity from generation to generation, "Alas, if I were not born in the fifth generation of human beings today, if I died earlier or were born later, it would be great! Because this generation is made of black iron! They are completely depraved, completely corrupted, full of pain and sin; they are worried and distressed day and night, and cannot be at peace. God constantly adds new troubles to them, but the biggest troubles are brought by themselves. The father opposes the son, the son Hostile to the father, the guests hate his friends who treat him, and they hate each other. The world is full of grudges, and even brothers are not as honest and loving as before. The white-haired parents do not get mercy and respect. The old man is abused. Oh, ruthless humans, how do you forget the judges that God is about to give, and completely ignore the grace of the parents' raising? The powerful are everywhere, and the fraudsters are rampant. They are viciously thinking about how to destroy each other's cities and villages. The upright, kind and fair are trampled on; the abductors are prosperous and honored.Rights and restraint are no longer respected. The evil people insult the good, they lie, and use slander and slander to create trouble. In fact, that's why these people are so unfortunate. In the past, the goddess of supreme goodness and dignity often came to the earth, but now she sadly wrapped her beautiful body in white clothes, left the world and returned to the eternal divine world. At this time, all that is left to mankind is despair and pain, without any hope. ”
