Zeus ordered Aphrodite's husband, Hephaestus, to make him a daughter... the first woman made out of clay. Hephaestus made a beautiful woman and named her Pandora...
Zeus then sent Pandora down to earth so that she could marry the lonely man Epithemus... However... Zeus was not being kind. He was getting even... Epimetheus and Prometheus were brothers. Zeus was mad at Prometheus for giving people fire without asking Zeus first. Zeus decided to get even by tricking the other brother into giving people something else they might or might not want...
Zeus gave Pandora a little box with a big heavy lock on it. He made her promise never to open the box. He gave the key to Pandora’s husband and told him never to open the box...
Pandora was very curious. She wanted to see what was inside the box, but Epimetheus said no. Better not. 'You know your father,' Epimetheus sighed, referring to Zeus. 'He’s a tricky one.'
One day, when Epimetheus lay sleeping, Pandora stole the key and opened the box.
Out flew every kind of disease and sickness, hate and envy, and all the bad things that people had never experienced before. Pandora slammed the lid closed, but it was too late. All the bad things were already out of the box. They flew away, out into the world.
Pandora cried and cried. Epimetheus woke up at the sound of her sobbing. -In a high, girly voice- 'I opened the box and all these ugly things flew out,' she cried. 'I tried to catch them, but they all got out.' -End girly voice.- Pandora opened the box to show him how empty it was. But the box was not quite empty... One tiny bug flew quickly out before Pandora could slam the lid shut again.
'Hello, Pandora,' said the bug, hovering just out of reach. 'My name is Hope.' With a nod of thanks for being set free, Hope flew out into the world, a world that now held Envy, Crime, Hate, and Disease – and also Hope...
