Greek mythology


In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first mortal woman, a woman created by the gods, possibly with the intention of bringing misery to mankind.
Zeus instructed Hephaestus to create a woman from clay, and then Zeus gave life to the creation. Once crafted, Athena clothed the woman, Aphrodite adorned her with grace and beauty, Hermes gave her the ability to speak, while Charites and Horai provided her with beautiful companions.
Other gifts were given by the gods, including cunning and the ability to lie, gifts from Hermes, and curiosity from Hera.
Pandora's curiosity was too great and she released all the evil in the world from the box (or jar) leaving "hope" still in the box!.
