"Where is that clay jar sent by the King of the Underworld?"
Zeus didn't pay much attention to Epimetheus, he only had the God of West Wind look after him as a precaution. What truly concerned Zeus was the King of the Underworld's 'gift'.
Hades volunteered to bear the name of the destroyer of the Bronze Humanity, as long as someone defied his warning and opened the jar he gave, the gods under his command would use plague and calamity to resolve Zeus's troubles.
As for the price, he demanded that from now on, the corpses of all who did not devoutly believe in the gods would belong to him, and the Divine King agreed to this request.
However, for some reason, his ambitious but incompetent elder brother also got involved, Poseidon declared that he too wanted to take part in the destruction of humanity.
