Pandora's Box (Mythoglogy & Legends)
Pandora's Box is an all time famous Greek Myth. According to the Myth Pandora was, the first woman on Earth. She was created by Gods; each one of them gave her a gift, thus, her name in Greek means “the one who bears all gifts”. By reading the first two lines of the story you can make a comparison between the Greeks religion and other religions. Which believes that Eve was the first woman on earth. Pandora was created as a punishment to the mankind; Zeus wanted to punish people because Prometheus stole the fire to give it to them. Her gifts were beautifully evil, according to Hesiod. Hephaestus created her from clay, shaping her perfectly, Aphrodite gave her femininity and Athena taught her crafts. Hermes was ordered by Zeus to teach her to be deceitful, stubborn and curious. Pandora's Box is an interesting Myth.
