[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeus"]Zeus[/ame] ordered [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestus"]Hephaestus[/ame] to mould her out of Earth (Γαîα – Gaia) as part of the punishment of mankind for [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus"]Prometheus[/ame]' theft of the secret of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire"]fire[/ame], and all the gods joined in offering this "beautiful evil" seductive gifts. Her other name, inscribed against her figure on a white-ground kylix in the British Museum,[3] is Anesidora, "she who sends up gifts."[4] According to the myth, Pandora opened a jar ([ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pithos"]pithos[/ame]) in modern accounts referred to as "Pandora's box", releasing all the evils of mankind— although the particular evils are not specified in detail — leaving only Hope inside once she had closed it again.[5] She opened the jar out of simple curiosity and not as a malicious act.[6] The myth of Pandora is ancient, appears in several distinct Greek versions, and has been interpreted in many ways. In all literary versions, however, the myth is a kind of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodicy"]theodicy[/ame], addressing the question of why there is evil in the world. In the seventh century BC [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesiod"]Hesiod[/ame], both in his [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theogony"]Theogony[/ame] (briefly, without naming Pandora outright, line 570) and in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_and_Days"]Works and Days[/ame], gives the earliest literary version of the Pandora story; however, there is an older mention of jars or urns containing blessings and evils bestowed upon mankind in Homer:
The immortals know no care, yet the lot they spin for man is full of sorrow; on the floor of Zeus' palace there stand two urns, the one filled with evil gifts, and the other with good ones. He for whom Zeus the lord of thunder mixes the gifts he sends, will meet now with good and now with evil fortune; but he to whom Zeus sends none but evil gifts will be pointed at by the finger of scorn, the hand of famine will pursue him to the ends of the world, and he will go up and down the face of the earth, respected neither by gods nor men.[7]
The inside feels great thanks Grock, the outside is as ugly as ever though.:eek::(Quote:
