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, she was the first woman that ever lived. Zeus called her Pandora. because she had received from each of the gods and goddesses a gift. The gift was harmful to men.

Zeus decided to send her down to men as a present. So Hermes then brought her to Epimetheu; brother of Prometheus. The greatness of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her, and Epimetheus happily received her into his house. He had quite forgotten Prometheus' warning: never to accept anything from Zeus. The couple lived a happy life for some time. Then trouble came on to the human world.

When he was busy with teaching men the art of living, Prometheus had left a big cask in the care of Epimetheus. He had warned his brother not to open the lid. Pandora was a curious woman. She had been feeling very disappointed that her husband did not allow her to take a look at the contents of the cask. One day, when Epimetheus was out, she lifted the lid and out it came unrest and war, plague and sickness, theft and violence, grief, sorrow, and all the other evils. The human world was 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.

潘多拉

自從火種被盜之后，宙斯就對(duì)人類(lèi)越來(lái)越不友好了。有一天，他命令他的兒子赫菲斯托斯變成一個(gè)外表美麗的少女，然后讓天上諸神及女神給予她不同的禮物。除此之外，雅典娜給她穿上吸引人的外衣，赫爾墨斯給了她說(shuō)謊的能力。她是如此耀眼的一個(gè)少女，是一個(gè)亙古未有的女人，宙斯把她稱(chēng)作潘多拉，因?yàn)樗玫搅颂焐纤兄T神和女神所賜予的禮物，而這禮物是對(duì)人類(lèi)有害的。

宙斯決定讓把潘多拉當(dāng)作禮物給世上的男人，所以赫爾墨斯把她帶給普羅米修斯的哥哥阿皮米修斯。潘多拉的美貌打動(dòng)所有看過(guò)她的人的心，阿皮米修斯很高興地接受了并帶回自己的家，他很快就忘記普羅米修斯的忠告：不要接受宙斯的任何禮物。這對(duì)夫婦幸福地生活了一段日子后，麻煩就來(lái)到了人類(lèi)的身邊。

當(dāng)普羅米修斯忙于教人類(lèi)生活的藝術(shù)時(shí)，留了一個(gè)大的盒子給阿皮米修斯照看。他警告他的弟弟說(shuō)千萬(wàn)不能打開(kāi)蓋子，潘多拉是一個(gè)危險(xiǎn)的女人。潘多拉很是失望，因?yàn)樗恼煞虿辉试S她看看那個(gè)盒子里的東西。有一天，當(dāng)阿皮米修斯外出時(shí)，她打開(kāi)了蓋子并釋放出了不安，戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，瘟疫，疾病，盜竊，暴力以及悲傷，難過(guò)甚至是所有的邪惡。人類(lèi)世界從此就開(kāi)始經(jīng)歷這此邪惡。只有希望開(kāi)呆在瓶口處并從未離開(kāi)。所以人類(lèi)的心里還是充滿(mǎn)希望的。
