Zeus was again bored and decided to make a third generation, called the brazen race of men. These bronze men were strong and warlike , had weapons and armour of bronze and even houses of bronze.
They worshipped the destructive works of Ares and, instead of bread, ate hearts of fellow men. In the end they were consumed by their own rage , destroying each other, and were sent to the underworld for eternity, never to see the light again. According to Theogony of the Apollodorus' Bibliotheca , the Bronze age was ended by the Deluge or the Great flood , set up by Zeus for being disappointed and outraged by the aggressive and cannibalistic behaviour of the bronze race.
After the bronze age Zeus created another race, an honorable race of heroes , who were noble and respected the gods. Among them were also individuals with divine qualities, called demi-gods. Most of them died in wars such as Trojan war and Seven against Thebes. The souls of those, who passed away, went to a special place called the Elysian Fields or the Islands of the Blessed , somewhere in the Underworld, surrounded by deep-swirling Oceanus.

The gods gave the mortal many gifts of wealth. He then had Hermes give the mortal a deceptive heart and a lying tongue. This creation was Pandora, the first women. The Golden Age was sparked by the arrival of the Traveler during the late 21st Century. In the two previous ages, the race of men primarily had a vegetarian diet. Such was the bloodshed and hubris of the Bronze Age humans that Zeus decided to bring an end to the age.
The king of the gods sent a great deluge to wipe them off the face of the earth.

It was the age of the great heroes and demigods of ancient Greece such as those written about by Homer in the Illiad and the Odyssey. This race of humans died and went to Elysium.
