Zeus was dissatisfied with Prometheus' fire falling from the sky and gave it to mankind, so he wanted to punish mankind and bring disaster to mankind. So Zeus asked his son to make a woman named Pandora out of clay. He endowed this woman with all the perfect advantages, making her both beautiful and talented.
Zeus gave Pandora a box full of evil, disaster and plague, and then sent Pandora to earth. Anyone who marries Pandora has the right to open this box. Because the box is sealed, no one knows what is hidden inside.
Pandora found Prometheus' younger brother Epitos, who was an honest man. He fell in love with the beautiful Pandora at first sight and decided to marry her. Although Prometheus advised his younger brother, Epimetheus went his own way.
Finally, Pandora opened the box that Zeus gave her in front of Epitos. In an instant, all kinds of evil in the box poured out. Disease, greed, jealousy and evil hung over the human sky like a dark cloud, and then quickly spread among people.
As we all know, at the bottom of the box, there is the hope of saving mankind secretly placed by Athena, the goddess of wisdom; . It's a pity that Pandora covered hope before it flew out of the box. From then on, people used to use Pandora's box as a metaphor to bring unfortunate gifts to people. Pandora's box is often interpreted as the source of disaster in English; . And opening Pandora's box means wanting to create disaster.
