Pandora' Gifts
Prologue
Hephaestus gave her life.
Aphrodite gave her beauty and lust.
Athena gave her a beautiful silver gown and taught her needlework and weaving.
Hermes gave her a shameful mind, deceitful nature, the power of speaking, her name and her lying tongue.
The Charities gave her jewelry and the Horae gave her a garland crown.
What did the others give her?
Hera gave her the sense of watching her husband and being able to fool him effortlessly.
Ares gave her rage and madness, helping fuel Hera' gift.
Hestia gave her a sense of being kind to those weaker and Hebe gave her a sacred brooch that would ease her mind of all troubles.
Dionysus gave her the gift of growing fruit bearing plants.
Apollo gave her a lyre and taught her to play luring music.
Artemis gave her a bow and arrow and gave the gift to hunt small game.
Zeus gave her the gift to be ruling and a leader.
Poseidon gave her the power to walk over seas and summoned rain showers for her garden of fruit bearing plants.
Hades gave her the inner knowledge of what consequences can come from her actions, along with no hesitation.
Deimos gave her the fear of her husband being better then she is.
Demeter gave her the power to help grow her fruit bearing plants.
Persephone gave her the power to grow flowers and the nature to be childish and to fake innocence enough to the point Prometheus himself can decide that she is harmless.
Nemesis gave her a revengeful mind and cunning tactics.
All this was given to her. She was to destroy mankind with her looks, to make them bow before her with her speech and crafty ways. She was to punish Prometheus for stealing fire, and that is what she did.
This be the story of how Prometheus will someday come to regret stealing against the gods and how even the simplest gift can turn a whole race against themselves.
*Author' Note:
This is my take on how Pandora came to be and how she destroyed mankind! Please, tell me if this is a good start and I should continue!
