 * Epimetheus was the complete opposite of his brother Prometheus. Epimetheus was a foolish person who did foolish things. His brother was always busy doing productive things while Epimetheus sat at home, taking care of his jar. Hermes was sent to bring him a gift, a beautiful creature Pandora, she was sent by Zues. She was to be his wife. He was so happy and delighted. Because Epimetheus was so forgetful he forgot his brother's warning, and thanked Hermes, and took god's gift. She became his wife, and she was the mother of all women upon the Earth, who was bane and a blessing to all men. Soon Pandora began her mischief. Pandora was filled with curiosity and wantedto know more about the jar. She began asking her husband questions. "What is that in that jar?" she asked. Of course, Epimetheus stressed to her that it was none of her concern; he told her to it belonged to his brother ,and it was not to be bothered. Pandora pretended to be satisfied, and when he was out of her way she would surely make her move. She took the lid off the jar and out came horrible things like blue ottle flies, and beetles, and wasps, fat and ugly, darting and buzzing in every which way. She quickly put the lid on; it was too late. They all went flying over the world: plague, pestilence, and all unchangeable things. The evils of the world, which had been tightly packed away in the jar. This is why mankind has been unhappy ever since. Prometheus came home and saw what had occured. "What a fool you are!" Prometheus was punished for stealing the fire. Foe Zues ordered Hephaisto to carry him to Mount Caucasos, nail him to rock. There a eagle would eat his liver. Watever the eagle ate from him grew again overnight. Prometheus was left there. (Rouse,W.H.D., pp. 19-20)**

 * Pandora Opens The Box

by [|Sara L Russell]**


 * Pandora slipped her hands onto the lid Merely intending one clandestine peep, And as she lifted, monsters of the id Slowly began arising from their sleep. Cruelty flew out over less wakeful beasts, Heedless of tortured screams rising from Hell; Diseases followed, with unholy priests And lowly demons, sprung from Satan's well. They came with noisy, flapping leathern wings, With coils of questing tendrils, seeking prey, All of the most unsavoury of things Crawled, flew or slithered to the light of day. It seemed that all was lost to evil's shame, Until hope ventured out, to speak her name. http://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewpoetry.asp?AuthorID=1775&id=86034**
