is bathed in sunlight. Zeus, as the mountain god and father of mankind, dominated everything there.

Pandora after the stealing of fire, zeus became increasingly unkind

to men.one day he ordered his son hephaestus to build an image of a beautiful

maiden out of clay.he then asked the gods and goddesses to award her with

different kinds of gifts.among others, athena clothed her in an attractive coat and hermes gave her the power of telling lies.a charming young lady,

war, plague and sickness, theft and violence, grief sorrow, and al

l

the other evils.the human world was hence hence to experience these evils.only

hope stayed within the mouth of the jar and never flew out.so men always

have hope within their hearts. After Pandora stole the fire from heaven, Zeus's hostility towards humans grew day by day. One day, he asked his son Hephaestus to make a clay statue of a beautiful woman and asked the gods to give her different gifts.

Among them, Athena decorated him with gorgeous clothes, and Hermes gave him the ability to lie. The first woman was a charmer, and Zeus called her Pandora (pander) because she received from every god a gift that was harmful to men. Zeus decided to give her as a gift to the men in the world.

So the messenger Hermes brought her to Epimetheus, the brother of Prometheus. She is so beautiful that everyone who sees her falls in love with her. Epimetheus welcomed her into the house cheerfully. Prometheus warned him not to accept any gifts from Zeus, but he had forgotten them. The couple lived a happy life, but soon disaster struck the world. While Prometheus was busy teaching people how to survive, he entrusted a barrel to Epimetheus. He warned his brother not to open the lid. Pandora is very curious. Her husband would not allow her to see the contents of the barrel, much to her chagrin. One day when Epimetheus was out on the road, she opened the lid of the barrel. What ran out of the barrel was discord and war, plague and disease, theft and violence, sorrow and worry, and other misfortunes that humans will suffer from now on.
