Answer:
In the mythology of Prometheus, which was first written about in the 8th century BC, Prometheus was told to be a Titan who was responsible for the creation of mankind from clay. During a special event between the gods and the mortals, including Prometheus and Zeus (Jupiter), Prometheus plays a trick on the god, using human means. He sets before Zeus two sacrifices, both meant to disrespect the god. When Zeus finds out about this, he retaliates by taking fire away from humanity. Zeus wants to punish humans, and their creator, Prometheus, for having played a trick on him, and to do so, aside from taking away fire, he also asks Hephaestus, to create a woman, Pandora, from clay and water. This woman takes with her a jar, which, when opened, releases diseases, plagues, sorrow and mischief, but withholds hope by order of Zeus. Prometheus disobeys Zeus as a protective response towards his own creation, and as a challenge towards the god.
People with power should help the weak because they have been granted advantages, and privileges, that should be used in favor of others, and not withheld.
