The fifth and final age of mortal men upon the earth and the third race to be created by Zeus.
Zeus’ father, Kronos (Cronos), created the first two generations of mortals, i.e. Gold and Sliver, and Zeus’ created the Bronze age mortals and the Heroes.
The Age of Iron followed the Trojan War and is the age in which we now live.
The Immortals arranged that in the Age of Iron there will be good mingled with evil but it would be an age of hardship and pitiless destruction.
The Age of Iron will end when children are born with gray hair and reverence will be replaced by brute strength; the goddess, Blapsei (Envy) will rule the hearts of men and the goddesses, Aidos (Shame) and Nemesis (Indignation) will flee the earth.
