GREEK MYTHOLOGY: Zeus' Revenge on Humanity - Pandora's Box

GREEK MYTHOLOGY: Zeus' Revenge on Humanity - Pandora's box
Zeus creates a cunning plot to restore the balance that Prometheus upset when he gave fire to humans. This tale is told by Zeus himself, as he weaves a web that will be humanities undoing.
For this plot, Pandora is made. She tells her tale from her perspective, and what could have led her to opening the infamous box of legend.

Not as dry academic monoliths, but as living breathing tales and parables as experienced by the peoples who worshipped these beings, in an attempt to make sense of their own lives and the world around them.

All of the tales are taken from very conflicting traditions across many centuries, so there will be many a moment when decisions need to be made to create a more cohesive narrative.

Do you think the "fire" is the pendant to the apple of knowledge in the Bible? I often also like to find traces of the older Sumerian texts and myths in Greek mythos. This episode is indeed present in Sumerian myth but quite different, as both the first made "a-damu" and his female counterpart ( made from his genes btw) were already born and residing in the "eden" or as I call it, the garden of the genetic lab where they were created. I think Enki is the source for Prometeus

[@zachariahmousa7652]

I have to say, one thing find myself frustrated with (in a good way) is how you are able to make me sympathize with the gods in one moment, and then despise them in the next. Your videos have made me respect and even like the gods. But after this story, I have to say I hate their guts. Cheering and laughing as they plot to ruin the lives of beings far lesser than themselves for crimes outside of their control. There was no attempt to provide guidance, and no teaching moment.They went straight for punishment and cruelty. Pandora and humanity didn't deserve the curses of the gods. A job well done to all of you! Zachariah 🤠

[@livingmythology1405]

We do love how a shift in perspective can easily make one hero a villain in another's story! Thank you so much for all your support Zachariah ! - Lightbringer

Can you please do The Bible? Like the Genesis or please do the Norse mythology god's?you do amazing job working on Religion's & mythology stories.😊

[@autobotskyflame6287]

This is great as always. Though I feel oddly, that Dionysus existing before the punishment of mankind, is somehow out of order.

[@sleeplepeople7313]

Then you need to read more.

[@livingmythology1405]

That's understandable as some versions of Greek mythology, for example Hesiod, decree that Pandora is the very first woman, and all women stem from her. But he also wrote that ''Zeus who thunders on high made women to be an evil to mortal men, with a nature to do evil.'' - which is around line 560 in his theogony, it felt kind of horrible to go with this version of events. For it makes Pandora, and therefore all women inherently evil. Pandora here, is just one woman. Like some of the other versions of this myth. As Dionysus is born of a mortal woman he is often placed before the punishment. However, it is Dionysus who brings Hephaestus back to Olympus - and it is Hephaestus who makes the original clay form of Pandora. There are far more references to Dionysus bringing Hephaestus home, it is a far more famous image. Seen in all sorts of ancient greek art works. Unfortunately, sometimes making a chronology of myths that had multiple versions of events, or numerous myths with no solid agreed upon canon, can become entirely contradictory. And choices must be made. We hope you enjoyed none the less! I hope this explains things a bit too. - Lightbringer

[@autobotskyflame6287]

@@livingmythology1405 Yeah, I guess there really is no good chronology in mythology... Probably what they get for slicing Kronos to pieces, literally shattering the titan god of time.

[@jacksands3403]

The fact that you can almost feel the gods described around you during and after these videos is outstanding. Im loving the Greek myths as i did not know overmuch of them before. Though i must admit i am curious to hear Lightbringer and Baldermort as several of the norse Gods. I would also enjoy seeing how you deferentiat Odin/Freya from Zues/Hera. As it seems to me Odin and Zues would be quite similar, save Odin being more war-like and perhaps more patient (He is the All seeing, All Knowing All-Father after all). Fantastic work as always you two. My regards to Editing boy for the superb image choice too. You must keep him in that cellar for weeks, working on these. 😂

[@mtp3920]

YOU DID IT AGAIN!!!! I always wanted to figure out the reasoning of the Pandora tale and here your explanation makes perfect sense. Punishment with balance……brilliant!

This story breaks my heart! And makes me think less of Zeus and how power corrupts even the biggest of heroes! How long must humanity pay the price of our ancestors? I for one refuse to take responsibility for others around me and I am a sovereign being and love me some me even if I am hated by the world for I know myself my heart and my intentions are good for all who walk the Earth it is my hope that we can all get past our differences and come together as one being of light and have all live the most important rule of all that is why it is golden! It sums up every commandment ever given if only done in truth from the heart!

[@livingmythology1405]

In one story you can be a hero, in someone else's a villain... it's all a matter of perspective! But the golden rule never fails you are right! For you should always treat others how you wish to be treated. And be kind.

In another version I read, all the gods indeed gave her a gift hence her name: Hephaestus created her from clay with Aphrodite as the model. Zeus breathed life into her. Hestia taught her how to cook and keep house. Demeter taught her how to farm and tend to a garden. Athena taught her crafts like weaving and sewing. Apollo taught her to play music and sing Both Ares and Artemis taught her how to defend herself from attention from wild animals and unwanted suitors. Poseidon gave her a necklace and promised that she would never drown Aphrodite taught her the arts of seduction, flirting and how to "keep" her husband (wink wink) Hera gave her curiosity. And Hermes gave her the box and in his usual teasing fashion, warned her to never open it.
