Hello everyone. I am polite and reasonable storyteller. Today we continue to talk about ancient Greek mythology, hoping to bloom in the human world. Zeus, the father of the gods, was still not satisfied after punishing Prometheus. He had become so disgusted with the human world created by Prometheus and his brother that he decided to create more disasters and misfortunes for humanity. He said viciously, let the insignificant human beings continue to burn. I want to make their lives ten times more miserable than they were before the fire. So he gave a piece of clay to the descending god Hourquin and ordered him to be shaped into the shape of a woman.
Wolkan's furnace was in the crater, and he quickly followed the instructions to make a sculpture of a woman. When the statue was finished, he brought it to Zeus. Zeus was sitting in the clouds, and all the gods were sitting around him. Although the statue does not have a lifeless human body, the great god will give it the shape of the human body, which is the most perfect image ever seen. Zeus issued an order to the gods, saying: Each of you should give this woman a gift. Zeus first gave life to the statue. Some of the other gods gave him a beautiful voice, some gave him graceful manners, some gave him good love, and some gave him outstanding talent.
Everyone called her Pandora. It means an all-rounder or a woman with all kinds of talents. Pandora was very beautiful and versatile, and everyone who saw him loved him dearly. Soon, he was handed over by the gods to mokuri, the fast-legged god, who took him to the mid-levels, where Prometheus and his brothers created a resting place for humanity. God first let Mokuri meet Epimetheus, and he said to him, Epimetheus, this is a beautiful woman, Zeus gave her to you as his wife. Where is Prometheus? More than once he warned his brother not to pay attention to Zeus's time, let alone to accept Zeus's gifts. But Pandora was so perfect that Epimetheus couldn't help but love him no matter what. He brought Pandora back from the angel of God, took him home, and happily married her. Pandora is very happy in her new family. When Prometheus saw him, he had to be impressed by his beauty, but Prometheus was well aware that this woman would bring great misfortune to mankind. At this time, he repeatedly reminded his brother to beware of Pandora's behavior, but Epimetheus was completely immersed in a happy night dream and could not listen to Prometheus's advice.
Pandora also brought a golden box when he came into this world, which Zeus gave him when he left. Zeus decorated the gold box magnificently, carved exquisitely, and hung a golden lock with a beautiful and unique appearance. Zeus also told Pandora that the box was full of treasure. If necessary, open it and you can enjoy endless prosperity. When she and the fast-legged angel came to Earth, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, solemnly warned him not to open the box or look inside. But Pandora was a very curious woman. She always looked at the gold box that Zeus had given her, not knowing what it contained. One day, she asked Epimetheus what was in the box? Epimetheus not only could not answer, but also asked his wife not to touch him, which aroused Pandora's curiosity, and he thought more and more about the box. Could it be the jewelry in this box?
She told herself that she thought she would be even more beautiful if she could put on these beautiful jewels. She wondered why Zeus would give it to me if I didn't wear it at all, or even look at it. Her curiosity grew stronger. Every day, he took the box off the top and gently touched the braces, trying to open the braces to see what was inside. She thought further, why should I consider what Athena said? She wasn't beautiful, she wasn't pretty. Jewelry was of no use to her. I had to open the box and see. No one else will ever know. Then she opened a small slit in the box. Just when I was able to look inside, there was a sudden whirring sound from inside. Pandora quickly closed the lid, but even if it was closed immediately, it was difficult to avoid the most unfortunate consequences. Thousands of strange creatures flew out of the box. Each of these monsters has a death-like face that the world has never seen before, and its thin body is frightening. After circling around the house for a while, they flew away.
For a time, famine, disease, greed, jealousy, suffering, and so on came out and spread throughout the earth. Until then, humans had never had any worries or worries about what would happen the next day, but what about these monsters? It flies into everyone's home, and without anyone noticing, it hovers over the chests of men, women, and children, taking away their happiness. In this way, the pain and suffering that people had never suffered before, and the belated death, suddenly fell on everyone's head. In the past, the world was full of laughter, but now there are moans of pain and howls of sadness from time to time. If Pandora hadn't put the lid on it so quickly, the result might have been worse. But what is good luck in misfortune? A beautiful thing called Hope, which remains in the box, is the only treasure left by the world of calamity. Since then, although the world has been full of disasters and misfortunes, fortunately, there is still hope for humanity, and these disasters can still be overcome or mitigated. Later, the Greeks said that no matter what kind of bad luck people encounter, they should not completely lose courage and confidence, because the desire to fly away is still in our hearts. This is the story of Pandora's Box. Knowing Pandora's curiosity, we open the magic box and release negative energies such as disaster, jealousy, and resentment into the world, and then we humans begin to become miserable. Fortunately, there is hope for us humans. At all times, we should look at our lives with hope. That's the story of today. We'll see you next time.
