Of course, if humans have common features with other animals, the stories about animals are only useful to humans. For analogy between humans and other animals, humans must be understood as animals themselves. There is a fable explaining this. In accordance with the order of Zeus, Prometheus shaped human beings and animals. When Zeus saw these animals far beyond humans, he ordered Prometheus to reduce the number of animals by turning them into men. Prometheus did what he said, so that the people who were originally animals had a human body but the soul of the animal. (Perry 240)

Prometheus opposed Zeus, the Almighty God who dominated the sky from the mountain. Hello. Prometheus irritated Zeus by making humans.

"Descriptive" as a descriptive term means that humans have the ability to "use impressions" in an introspective way. Animals like humans use the impressions of their world as their actions are guided by what they consider themselves to be their own. But humans also check their impressions to decide whether they are right or wrong; we have the ability to "agree" (1.6.12-22)
