Chapter 19: Lycaon (The Flood Dawn of the New Era)

 This chapter is about a myth that bronze race mortals made. They were very disrespectful and rude. They made up rumors. Zeus then came along and told them that it is not so bad to a mortal, he will prove it to them. Zeus did an experiment and dressed up as a mortal man, to show that they were good people. If the rumors ended up to be false then he would kill. He went to go visit the main guy who made these rumors and he was the most disrespectful out of all of them, his name is Lycaon. When he visited him, Zeus presented his self as an Olympus god. Lycaon did not believe him so, he tested by asking him if he wanted something to eat. He said he wanted cow. Well, Lycaon gave him meat, but it wasn’t real meat, it was human flesh. If he was a real Olympus god, he would be able to tell whether or not it was human or animal meat. Zeus relized that it wasn’t cow, he was so angry and killed everyone there beside Lycaon. Lycaon escaped to tell his neighbors that the gods were angry. He tried to tell them, but he couldn’t, nothing but howling came out. He started to turn into a wolf. After this, Zeus decided that no mortal should live, what immortal should be sacrificed if no mortal was left to worship the deathless gods. He then made a promise: once the race is gone, he will then make a new one to supply their alters with fragrant sacrifices. Zeus killed the race by water, not fire, because it would destroy land. After he had set up the flood, there was two survivors, Deucalion and Pyrrha.
