What was the effect of promethesu's gift to human

Prometheus wanted to give humans something important to make them thrive above the animals of the earth.
Prometheus was worried about the humans, who had nothing useful to help them live among these greater beasts. He decided to give them fire, a gift only the gods have held for eternity, because otherwise the humans would be overthrown by the other creatures.

The story of Slaughterhouse Canyon takes place during the Gold Rush. During the 1800s, there was a family who lived down in the canyon. They were very poor, so the father would venture out into the canyon for food for his family. As you might have guessed, one day the father did not return, so his family slowly starved and descended into madness. The mother, unable to bear listening to her children's cries anymore, put on her wedding dress, murdered her children, and then threw them into a nearby river. The next day she succumbed to starvation herself.

The legend states that if you go down to Slaughterhouse Canyon at night, even now, you will hear the loud, anguished cries of the mother who lost her mind.
