Whether these Titans and gods existed, the tales of their turbulent nature revealed them to be more human than any mortal could ever be. Humanity prevailed and eventually remained to tell the gods' tale as they retreated into a distant memory. But in their destruction, humanity was left the victim to the disdain of Zeus, who resented them at first and tried to exterminate them off the face of the earth. He alluded that human beings were created by the Titans and gifted with the knowledge of fire. His most memorable were two works: 'Theogony,' which depicted the 10-year battle between Zeus and the Titans and 'Works and Days,' which extensively discussed the creation of humanity during the five ages of man. Hesiod gives testament to all of these in his various works.

It is only Hesiod who could account for the beginnings of creation, the lineage of gods and Titans, the rise of Zeus, and the emergence of humanity. When discussing the creation myths of the ancient Greek gods, as told by the poet Hesiod (750-650 BC), it is best to imagine an audience huddled around a single speaker by way of a fire pit in the darkest of night.
