After the stealing of fire，Zeus became increasingly unkind to
men．One day he ordered his son Hephaestus tobuild an image of a
beautiful maiden out of clay．He then asked the gods and goddesses to
award her with different kinds of gifts．Among others，Athena clothed
her in an attractive coat and Hermes gave her the power of telling
lies．A charming young lady，she was the first woman that ever
lived．Zeus called her Pandora．Because she had received from each of
the gods and goddesses a gift．The gift was harmful to men．
Zeus decided to send her down to men as a present．So Hermes them
essenger brought her to Epimetheus，brother of Prometheus．The greatness
of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her，and
Epimetheus happily received her into his house．He had quite forgotten
Pometheus'''' warning：never to accept anything from Zeus．The couple
lived a happy life for some time．Then trouble came on to the human
world
When he was busy with teaching men the art of living，Prometheus had
left a bigcask in the care of Epimetheus．He had warned his brother not
to open the lid．Pandora was a curious woman．She had been feeling very
disappointed that her husband did not allow her to take a look at the
contents of the cask．One day，when Epimetheus was out，she lifted the
lid and out itcame unrest and war，Plague and sickness，theft and
violence， grief sorrow，and all the other evils．The human world was
hence to experience these evils．Only hope stayed within the mouth of
the jar and never flew out．So men always have hope within their
hearts．
