Creatures of Prometheus Summary

Before technology man was nothing. When the gifts of art and fire were bestowed on humans this gave them the "divine" ability to build, this blurred the distinction between mortals and immortals. Women were created by Zeus to distract men from this divine act of building, but in fact are not so different because both make artifacts but use them in different ways. There is a connection between humans and the things they make because both can not survive without the other. There is a also a clear distinction between the things we create, the ways we use them, and which gender uses it; both rely on each other and through this connection we no longer have to worry about bare survival.
