The story of Pandora 's Box begins with the story of Zeus, Prometheus and Epimetheus. Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus were Titans but Prometheus had a special ability to predict when they were born and knew that Zeus would beat Titan, so they were faithful to Zeus and the Olympic athletes I promised something. Zeus rewarded the loyalty of Prometheus and Epimetheus and made the first creatures to live on the earth. Epimetheus forms animals and gives each animal special skills and protection. Prometheus took some time to shape that person because Epimetheus had robbed all of them and had no form of protection. Prometheus knows that men need some form of protection and asks if Zeus can offend men. Zeus refused. Fire is only for the gods. In any case, Prometheus ignored Zeus and gave human firepower. For this purpose, Prometheus was punished. Zeus bound him to the rock of the distant Caucasus with a chain, and no one could find him. Every day, Zeus sent Eagle to the feast of Prometheus liver and grew everyday, so Prometheus disappeared so that Prometheus can endure this torture every day until Hercules finds Prometheus and kills Eagle
For Zeus this kind of torture is not enough to punish them because Zeus believes that humans should also be punished for accepting the gift of fire of Prometheus. To punish humanity, Zeus created a woman named Pandora. She looked like a beautiful goddess Aphrodite. She received wisdom, beauty, kindness, peace, generosity, and good health from God.
Zeus took her to the earth and became the wife of Epimetheus. Epimetheus brother Prometheus warned him about Zeus's trick and told not to accept God's gift, but Epimetheus accepted too much of her beauty and wanted to marry her.
As a wedding gift, Zeus gave Pandora a box (in ancient Greece this is called a bottle) but I warned her not to open it. Curious Pandora was unable to escape from the box and the urge to open the box overcame her. Fearful things such as greed, jealousy, hatred, pain, illness, hunger, poverty, war, and death come out of the box. All the suffering of life was released to the world. Pandora closed the lid of the box. The last thing left is hope. Since then, humans have been able to keep this hope in order to overcome the evil of Pandora.
"Pandora's Box" means things that are least affected as they are afraid of what it produces.
In the famous story of Pandora 's Box, readers understand how the earth sufferings were born. It is worth noting that women (and her curiosity) are blamed on all human sufferings, like Eve in Jewish and Christian traditions. The scholars pointed out facts concerning the story of Adam and Eve, who are said to have destroyed the utopia where humanity lived in the past. Retaliation is a theme that appears repeatedly in myths and is very convincing in the story of Pandora. When they think they have done something wrong with them, the Greek gods tend to fiercely crash and the situation of Pandora is no exception. She was sent to the earth, so her curiosity let her open the box
In Greek myth, epimetheus told the story of Epimetheus, and left his bride, Pandora, who was in charge of the box Zeus handed over to them. This box has all the diseases in the world. But Zeus pointed out that opening a box is no problem under any circumstances, as Pandora's other gifts are curious. One thing that led to another thing, Pandora opened the box, badly ill, sick, diseased, brought serious damage to the world. The lid was replaced in time to prevent hope of jumping out of the box and being completely lost in the world
