Pandora's Box

0:09 - After Man steals fire from Heaven, the gods seek revenge. They put everything evil into a jar and entrust it to the unwitting Epimetheus. It is here that we take up the story of Pandora. When the Greeks first told this myth, it was Pandora's husband who opened the jar. it is interesting to see how blame has since been shifted on to the woman!

I remember this from when I first heard it in 1983. Phenomenal retelling. As for TkA's annotation, It's possible that Epimetheus was the one who removed the lid from the jar, after all his name (afterthought) suggests imprudence whereas Pandora's simply means 'all the gifts'. However if this was the case when the Greeks first told this myth where is it recorded? As far as I know Hesiod's Works and Days is the first recording of many of these stories and in that text it is Pandora who removes the lid, unless the text was altered before or during translation...

[@IXL2BW]

Not a very positive version of Pandora. The closing of the lid was pretty good though.

[@jlsillman84]
