Pandora’s Box
PANDORA was the very first woman who was formed out of clay by the gods.
The Titan Prometheus had originally been assigned with the task of creating man. But because he was displeased with their lot, stole fire from heaven. Zeus was angered, and commanded Hephaistos and the other gods to create a woman, Pandora, and endow her with the beauty and cunning. He then delivered her to Epimetheus, the foolish younger brother of Prometheus, for a bride.

Hi Erynn, make sure your volume is on. It is working 🙂
the script was very in lerning about pandora’s box.I found the story very interesting and entertaining.
Question 1 – illness, death, sadness, vilence and all teh bad things Zeus coould think of. But the last thing was Hope. Question 2 – Pandora opened the box because she wanted to know what was inside because one of her gifts were curiosty. Question 3 – Don’t steal and listen to what people tell you. Question 4 – No Pandora’s jar could not be a suitable because in the story it was always a golden box.
Question-1 the box was full of death, violence, saddness and tradagy
Question-2 Pandora because she was blessed with curiosty and wanted to know whats inside
Question-3 dont let the curiosty get to you because it could mean all of things could happen
Question-4 no because its a box not a jar
I found that the Script was different to the auto reading clip
Question 1-the box is filled with evil things like death, violence, saddness and tradagy
Question 2-Pandora opend the box because she was curious about what was in it and could’nt help her self opining it
Question 3-Dont let your curiousity get to you it could lead to bad things
Question 4-No, because a jar is normally small

Dear Ms Johnson
I have the answers to your questions:
1. Hate, Sickness, Death, Jealousy, Poverty, Sadness and every other horrible thing that he could think of
2. Pandora opened the box because she was curious as to what was inside
3. The moral of this myth (or legend for Greeks) is that if someone says don’t open something, then don’t open it. Don’t let curiosity get the better of you. Trust in other people.
4. The story could not have been named Pandora’s Jar, because there is no jar in the story. It is named Pandora’s Box, because it was the BOX that Zues gave PANDORA, which PANDORA’s curiosity made PANDORA open the BOX

Inside the box was death, poverty, illness, sadness and finally hope.
Questian 2
Pandora opened the box because she couldn’t stand not knowing what was inside.
Question 3
The moral(s) of the myth are, never make a promise you can’t keep and never let curiosity get the better of you, as the saying goes curiosity killed the cat!
I see most of you put no to question 4. If a box and a jar both have a contained area and a lid why couldn’t it be Pandora’s Jar? I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter!
