Incredibly concise and profound section \/

The myth of Prometheus and Pandora (42-105): men suffer illness and must work for a living because Zeus punished them with Pandora for Prometheus' theft of fire.

From intro Works and Days

“To accept the obligation to work is to recognize one's humanity and thereby to acknowledge one's place in the scheme of things to which divine justice has assigned one, and this will inevitably be rewarded by the gods; to attempt to avoid work is to rebel in vain against the divine apportionment that has imposed work upon human beings, and this will inevitably be punished.”

Finished Theogony, understand main narrative of Sky, Cronus and Zeus, skimmed other parts. Interesting tangent on the dilemma of marriage at one point.
