At Zeus’s command, Prometheus fashioned human beings and beasts. But when Zeus saw that the creatures without reason far outnumbered the humans, he ordered Prometheus to undo some of the beasts and reshape them into human beings. Prometheus did as he was told, and so it came about that those fashioned from these beasts had human forms but savage souls.

The fable is a rebuke to those who are brutal and quick to anger.

Izvirnik

Προμηθεὺς κατὰ πρόσταξιν τοῦ Διὸς ἀνθρώήπους ἔπλασε καὶ θηρία. Ὁ δὲ Ζεὺς θεασάμενος πολλῷ πλείονα τὰ ἄλογα ζῶα, ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν τῶν θηρίων τινὰ διαφθείραντα ἀνθρώπους μετατυπῶσαι. Τοῦ δὲ τὸ προσταχθὲν ποιήσαντος, συνέβη τοὺς ἐκ τούτων πλασθέντας τὴν μὲν μορφὴν ἀνθρώπων ἔχειν, τὰς δὲ ψυχὰς θηριώδεις.

Ἔλεγχον ὁ μῦθος ἔχει πρὸς ἄνδρας θηριώδεις καὶ ὀργίλους.
