Pandora's Box is a Greek myth told by Lori Verstegen, who wrote Ancient History Based – writing lessons, in Institutes of Excellence in Writing in 2008. Originally, it was told by another person, but that author is unknown. There are many different versions. In one version, the box is a jar or a pithos. I guess they thought Pandora's Pithos wasn't as catchy. Once, instead of sinister evil coming out, all positive things came out and left this world, except hope. In the story, the action commences in Olympus and eventually ends on earth.
In Olympus, Zeus, who was the lord of the gods and lightning, was a ruthless god. Unsuspectingly, a woman was created by the Olympians, named Pandora. This act was for revenge on Prometheus for stealing fire and giving it to the world. He had a brother name Epimetheus, but we'll get to that later. Pandora was the all-gifted, foolish, and beautiful first woman. When she was fashioned, Aphrodite was used as a model. Although Prometheus told his brother not to trust Zeus, he did anyway. Epimetheus was a superficial man. He took in Pandora quickly.
As Hermes delivered beautiful Pandora to Epimetheus, he also gave a box, or in Greek, a pithos and warned Epimetheus to never, under any circumstances, open the box. For some reason, Pandora wonderfully had a great deal of curiosity, just as Zeus had wanted. Easily, Pandora and Epimetheus loved each other, but Pandora became obsessed about finding out what was in the box. She became shaky and stressed. Even with her husband's support, which was huge, they both became obsessed. She had to open it!
As Pandora opened the box, Epimetheus watched but did not stop her. Suddenly, hideous monsters, sorrow, and evil filled the earth. For Zeus had his revenge, the entire family was cursed. It was too late when the box was closed; everything was lost! Evil was beginning.
This version is boring! The original version is better. This version lacks the same Greek style that is found in the original. In addition to that, the box was a pithos but that is not an enjoyable title. Although this version, which as people know is written by Lori Verstegen, is boring, it has some similarities to the Greek version. For example, Pandora is always the curious and beautiful first woman. Also, it is true Pandora is VERY relatable. It is more enjoyable when Hope wonderfully remains. Of course, that means the rest of all happy things left earth. Lastly, the most important item was left out of this telling. For example, when Epimetheus bellows, "I've been stung!" as he does in this version. Curiously, it makes as much sense to say this as it does that Q is always followed by U or that there are approximately five words that start with the letter X. These are just little mysteries. This is a critique of Pandora's Box.
