Smaller men got more intelligence than larger men.
Chambry (Zeus and Man)
Note: The Chambry collection is published in Greek. AI was used to translate the Greek to this text:
Zeus, having fashioned men, ordered Hermes to pour mind into them. Hermes, having made an equal measure, poured it into each. It happened that those who were small of stature, being filled up by the measure, became prudent, while the tall ones, since the potion did not reach [even to their knees,] became more foolish throughout their whole bodies.
This story is timely for a man who is large in body but irrational in soul.
How do you think an AI might simplify this fable? Here is one answer, and the illustration above was made from this simplification:
The Tall Men and the Measure of Wisdom
After creating humankind, Zeus commanded Hermes to give each person a share of wisdom. Hermes poured out equal portions for all. The small men were filled to the brim and became wise, while the tall men, who needed more to fill their great frames, remained mostly empty and foolish.
Moral
A large body is no guarantee of a sound mind.
