Four Ages of Man 2/2

The third age of man was solely created by Zeus. This age was called The Bronze Age. The people of The Bronze age seemed to appear as if they were bronze. Everything was dependent on bronze during this age, hence the name. These people were incredibly strong and were often violent. Fights broke out on a daily basis. This brought destruction to the age.  Because of this violence, after each person died they were sentenced to an afterlife in the harsh world of Hades. This can be compared to The Golden Age, because in The Golden Age, when the people died, they would instantly become guardian angels. This age was very harsh and violence was the most important thing to the people. 

The next and final age of man is The Iron Age. The Iron Age was created by Zeus and the people of Greece believed that this is the age we live in today. The people of this society praised violence rather than peaceful behavior. The people fought each other with iron weapons, hence The Iron Age.  The people force the earth to provide them with iron and food. The people also worked hard and only had an outcome of little success. These people also encountered troubled dreams. These people were even worse than the people of The Bronze Age. It was hard to trust the people in this age and there were many murders.  In some cases, the hosts of something may murder their guests, and it wouldn’t be frowned upon. Quarrels like this did destroyed relationships though.  All moral behavior disappeared from the personalities of the people of this intense and harsh age. This age is comparably different than the ones that occurred before it. The people only cared about violence. This age also represents today’s way of living.
