If you asked me to change one thing about the world a few years ago i would say every thing that came with pandora's box but, now I say the watch. They just disrupt my work....and that's why i live in the night. In the day i am easily spotted. My work? Lets just say i go in , then out and by the time you awaken from your slumber your dimonds are half way across the contry.Once Pandora's box is open it will never shut, lets just say I used it to my advantage. "6 years surounded in darkness, it changes a person" a woman said as she aproched me. I was not facing her but i could hear her muffled footsteps as they got louder. " It dose dosent it?" I said in a calmy manner. "yes indeed..." " what do you want sylvia?". Sylvia seemed surprized even though she knew what i was capable of. She tried to ignore the fact i knew who it was and said " Jolenes Jewls, know anything?" "Nope but a little birdy did tell me that they are in canica" "You know i could arrest you?" " So I could break out and relocate?!" I faced her even though she was hidden in the shadows. " I supose that is true... Why did we have to choose different paths?" " I guess I just know how to live". Sylvia stomped into the light. She looked furious but i was enjoying it. I found it funny. " Atleast I dont I have to relocate every week." She said with anger in her voice, " You have not ONCE said my name! Isent it common curtisy?!" I said in an equally angered voice.. "Sorry... Pandora j-just please don't relocate, you know unless its nessisary,....for me?" "Fine but ill warn you..." I jumped onto a window to a roof. "... itusualy is". I smilied as it was true. I moved along the rusty roof top of a pesants house. The roughness of the rush did not hurt my hands, whether... ... middle of paper ... ...e box. Wait why do i have such an atraction to it when im next to it but when im far i barely reember it? It muxh have a spell on it! Thats a new thing to do , learn magic. Even though its probably cursed or somthing its mine and I will have it. In the morning i start with archery. I'm preety rusty but i got the hang of it. Magic now. I go and buy a book of spells ,potions and some magic dust. I am ready to start. " Waryhj – spell to reverse time equ-"I mumble to myself. Then Sylvia came in and sat next to me. "hello" She said surprizingly chiper. "yeah? " " :guess what?!" "what?" " I shot a theif in the hand last night! Now you have no competition!" "What!???" I was so shocked was being happy all just apart of her little game? I can play that game too.. I lifted my hand that was bandaged because of my wound. "Happy now?" I said tring to keep calm but failing.
Hesiod tells the story of how the curse of Pandora came to be in his writing. In his two works Hesiod, Works and Days and Hesiod, Theogony that contain the story of Pandora are both writing in a slightly different perspective. However, at the end both have the same meaning to them. That Zeus created women as a punishment for men. In developing this meaning in both poems Hesiod uses a few different things in each story as oppose to telling the same story for both. Hesiod, Works and Days and Hesiod
choose. After Zeus discovered this trickery, he and the other gods put ingredients together to create a woman called Pandora. Pandora is a ‘gift’ to Epimetheus. The poem writes “Prometheus had said to him, bidding him never take a gift of Olympian Zeus, but to send it back for fear it might prove to be something harmful to men,” (Hesiod, Works and Days, 85-90). Just the fact that Pandora practically comes with a warning label as a being harmful shows
Pandora: The Destruction of Mankind In Hesiod’s myths Theogony and Work and Days, the formation of the female species is created. Both myths illustrate how the new female species is the doom for mankind. Pandora is a figure used by Hesiod to explain how females first came to be. Hesiod’s anger and bitterness towards women is seen in both texts. Hesiod perfectly describes his feelings towards females when he says they are evil and a curse for mortal men. Hesiod uses women as a way to explain the
has never been before” (Rice, 2015). The story of the goddess Pandora has resonated throughout the world as the woman who betrayed the world; the woman who released disease and famine in the world. Pandora made the fatal mistake of opening a box only because wonder took over her of the fabled jewels and power that might be stored inside. But the mishap led to the world we have today, ravaged by greed and filth. The story of Pandora begins when Zeus condemned Prometheus for giving fire to men.
English The story of Prometheus and pandora began when Prometheus, the god of war, was assigned with the task of creating mankind. Prometheus had assigned Epimetheus ( his brother) the task of giving the creatures of the earth their various qualities, such as swiftness, cunning, strength, fur, and wings. Unfortunately, by the time he got to man Epimetheus had given all the good qualities out and there were none left for man. So Prometheus decided to make mankind stand upright as the gods did
The Greek Attitude Towards Women as seen in the Works of Hesiod Hesiod leaves no doubt that the existence of women is on balance a terrible thing for men. Zeus ordered Hephaistos to create women as a punishment for his having been decieved.. Women were to be a poisoned gift for men, which "all shall take to their hearts with delight, an evil to love and embrace" (W&D, 57-59). In the Theogony women are called "a great plague" because they are "ill-suited to Poverty’s curse, but suited to Plenty"
The name Pandora means “all-gifted”. Pandora is known as the first human women created by the gods. It’s said that she was supposed to be made specifically by Hephaestus and Athena, by the orders of Zeus. Hephaestus was a building god and much like a blacksmith he made weapons for the other gods. Athena was a warrior and she was known as the goddess of wisdom. Even though these two gods were assigned to make her, all the gods pitched in. They made her by casting gifts for her, such as beauty, and
Among the many Greek gods, there is the story of Prometheus and Pandora. This particular myth is about the creation of man and how the evils of the world came to be. Prometheus and Epimetheus are brothers, Prometheus being bright and Epimetheus being foolish. Prometheus is the god that goes on a dangerous quest and endures suffering for the betterment of man, namely to bring fire to man. The story starts with Gaia, the goddess who marries the sky and creates the world, bringing forth animals
delicately carved them out of mud and clay, breathing life into each as he finished. To give them warmth and embrace, Prometheus stole a torch of fire from the Olympians and gave it to man. As punishment, Zeus created a beautiful being. Pandora. Zeus gave a jar to Pandora filled with all the terrors and awful things that would inhabit Earth and man’s mind. Among these terrors was one of the worst of all, barbarism and savagery. Prometheus pleaded with Zeus and the gods of Olympus. “Zeus, man has been
as king of the gods, providing one of the first characterizations of his temperament, and second, it serves as a mode of explanation for those evils in the world which plague mankind. Caught between the “Birth of the Olympians” and the story of Pandora, lines 509-572 of Theogony, serve as an intermediary to enhance its preceding and subsequent stories. The “Birth of the Olympians” is the first introduction of Zeus into Hesiod’s world, beginning as “Rheia… was about to give birth to Zeus our father…”
enable her to torment mankind. They named her Pandora. Pandora was given a gift of a box filled with all the evils in the world and was told not to open it. What does she do? She opens it. And released all the evils into the world, hope alone remained in the box. Aeschylus, on the other hand, uses the figure of Io as a sweet, innocent woman who was tormented by the gods and whose ancestor will free Prometheus one day. He doesn’t even mention Pandora and the punishment of mankind. Io refused to
The myth concerning the creation of Pandora and her opening of “Pandora’s box” is one of the etiological stories surrounding the formation of women and their archetypal role in society. Pandora was meant to be a punishment to manhood due to Prometheus’ (Forethought) trickery when he misled Zeus to choose a lesser portion of an ox that was split between him and man, and also when Prometheus stole fire and gave it to mankind without permission. In order to reprimand Prometheus and mankind for their
god-mothers for with the way they look after those children not giving them a chance to feel the absence of the much needed ‘mothers-love’ , they deserve to be called nothing else but that. The place is somewhat like the way the world was before Pandora opened the box for it is full of children with glowing faces that reflect nothing but sheer happiness. The truth remains that they have had a horrible past or that they know that they have missed out a lot of things in life but they keep all the pain
Cloning: Opening a Pandora's Box What Dolly is to biology can be likened to what nuclear bomb is to physics. And just like the latter, Dolly brings with it a host of controversies. Dolly redefined nature the same way Fat Man and Little Boy redefined warfare in 1945. The impact to the human civilisation is what makes both Dolly and nuclear physics so great, and controversial. It needs not take long for everyone to realise the Pandora's box that Dolly has pried open, even for someone who knows
Introduction Icarus’ store is facing bankruptcy and so he plans to file a fraudulent claim against his insurance company after setting fire to his own store.
