Legend has it that after Prometheus stole the Heavenly Fire to mankind, Zeus was very angry, believing that Prometheus had offended him and must be punished severely.
But Prometheus didn't seem to have any handle on him, so he was distressed. One day, Zeus came up with a solution and decided to start with Epitheus, Prometheus's younger brother. After consulting with the gods, he decided to create a beautiful woman to break through. Zeus gave this beautiful woman various talents, Athena was originally a friend of Prometheus and did not want to participate in this matter, but for Zeus's father,she still put on a beautiful white dress for the girl, put on a beautiful garland for her, Apollo gave the girl a gentle and pleasant singing voice, the goddess Aphrodite gave the girl a charming charm, and Hermes taught her the language of the world. Finally, the gods named her "Pandora", which means "woman with all talents".
The beautiful maiden was brought before Epitheus, who was captivated, but asked his brother Prometheus for advice. My brother said, "Beware." Although Epitheus agreed, he left his brother's advice behind him. Before getting married, Zeus gave Pandora a crafted box and warned her not to open it. In fact, this is also Zeus's conspiracy, because he knows very well that Pandora has a fatal flaw: curiosity. After marriage, Pandora and her husband were also very happy, but she was still very curious about what was in that box. But remembering the admonition given by Zeus before she got married, she divided it up for a few days, but she became more and more curious about the contents of the box, and one day, her husband went out hunting, and she couldn't help it, so she opened the box.
But as soon as the box was opened, a black smoke came out of it, and it turned out that the gods had hidden in it famine, plague, disease, madness, war, disaster, greed, jealousy, sin, etc., and now these were all released, and Pandora panicked and quickly closed the box, but she did not release the last thing: hope. Since then, various diseases and disasters have struck the human world. Prometheus is very sad to see this in the human world, but the only comfort is that the "hope" locked in the box is still in the human world.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this hope that humanity has survived so many calamities until now.
