I feel like in this story Pandora shouldn’t be the villain. Pandora was literally made to have curiosity. The gods made her to be that way. It shouldn’t be her fault that she was the one that opened the box.

[@ladynikkie]

I feel that the Gods knew that prometheus's brother wouldn't accept gifts so they planned all of this to punish the titan brothers further. That's how petty and cruel they are

[@carolineneumann3523]

That’s really an interesting take on the ending. Typically, at least when I’ve heard the myth, hope was seen as a good thing. It was taken as a symbol of well...hope. It’s seen as good. But the way u described it was a complete 180°, describing how it just extended the suffering with a few occasional moments of bliss. I like that!

[@ELRAYSTUDIOS]

Facts

[@javadkhataei4731]

Friedrich Nietzsche - Human, All Too Human Section Two: On the History of Moral Feelings - Aphorism # 71: Hope. Pandora brought the jar with the evils and opened it. It was the gods' gift to man, on the outside a beautiful, enticing gift, called the "lucky jar." Then all the evils, those lively, winged beings, flew out of it. Since that time, they roam around and do harm to men by day and night. One single evil had not yet slipped out of the jar. As Zeus had wished, Pandora slammed the top down and it remained inside. So now man has the lucky jar in his house forever and thinks the world of the treasure. It is at his service; he reaches for it when he fancies it. For he does not know that that jar which Pandora brought was the jar of evils, and he takes the remaining evil for the greatest worldly good--it is hope, for Zeus did not want man to throw his life away, no matter how much the other evils might torment him, but rather to go on letting himself be tormented anew. To that end, he gives man hope. In truth, it is the most evil of evils because it prolongs man's torment.

Elpis wasn't evil. She stayed there because it meant that she's still hope in the midths of crisis, if she left or she was given permission to leave.

[@shawncudjoe21]

@@gleamingandshining971 I don't know what you are trying to say.

Wait a minute... if Seuz wants to punish human why he also puts "hope"? Didn't he only want their suffering?

[@S-payanage]

Well it’s hard to say it all lies with interpretation. - The Good Hope: Many interpret that Zeus would think that all the evils and maladies were very powerful, too powerful. In order to balance it out he put hope as source of good so that humanity CAN have a chance despite all the atrocities. - A Bad Hope: Others assume that Hope was to prolong suffering and incur ignorance. Zeus thought that by having humanity hopeful they would allow evil to exist and they could only hope and not accomplish. It really depends on your interpretation, however I myself tend to be hopeful and focus on the former.

[@men_del12]

@@S-payanage I see. It seems though in either case Seuz himself didn't do much though than to sit on his realm while watching them be hopeful though 😭😭😭😭😭😭 to that thing.

@@TheGabit I don't know "what if" because it's not. The monotheistic religion isn't the oldest though. The oldest religion known is Hinduism which is politheistic. Also, the shamanic practices which are the most rudimentar and primar form of spirituality are not monotheistic. So, if there was a major old religion throughout others were derived based on certain factors it wouldn't be monotheistic. The monotheistic concept was formed in the abrahamic religions which are most more recent than the Egyptian, Babylonian or Sumerian mythological traditions.

Stories of the first "woman" always made "curious" female the cause of impurity in humanity. I'm not surprised that many societies held social stigma that woman shouldn't study or pursue knowledge up until the late 1900s, with all these preceded preaching that try to put woman in her place. Personally, I think "curiousity" is an inherantly human quality because why are we even here if we do not want to learn more.

In another story Medusa was not human to begin with, rather she is one of the three gorgons, beside Stheno and Euryale.
