Pandora's Box.After Prometheus' theft of the secret of fire, Zeus ordered Hephaestus to create the woman Pandora as part of the punishment for mankind. Pandora was given many seductive gifts from Aphrodite, Hermes, Charites, and Horae. For fear of additional reprisals, Prometheus warned his brother Epimetheus not to accept any gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus did not listen, and married Pandora. Pandora had been given a box and instructed by Zeus to keep it closed, but she had also been given the gift of curiosity, and ultimately opened it. When she opened it, all of the evils of mankind escaped from the box, although Pandora was quick enough to close it again and keep one value inside.
Hope.
When we appear to be surrounded by evil and despair,
Hope never entirely leaves us.
Hope.
When we appear to be surrounded by evil and despair,
Hope never entirely leaves us.
At the bottom of the Pandora's Box, there is always hope.
