Though man knew that fire was the possession of the gods, they still accepted Prometheus ‘gift. Zeus was very angry at this and decided to punish man.
He called on Hephaestus, the gods of metal and fire, and asked him to build a woman out of stone. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, modeled for the statue so that it would be beautiful.
When it was finished, Athena breathed life into the cold stone and it came alive. Then each of the gods gave the woman a gift.
Aphrodite taught her how to dance and how to attract any man without even having to look at him. Athena gave her great wisdom. Apollo taught her how to play many musical instruments, and the Muse’s taught her how to sing.
Hermes taught her how to speak wonderful lies that made other people happy. The last gift was given to her by Hera, Zeus’ wife, and this was curiosity.
The gods then named her Pandora, which means, “All-gifted” and placed her down on earth with all the common men.
Zeus went down to earth with Pandora and gave her one last gift. It was a beautiful box, closed with a heavy lock.
He then gave Pandora the key to box and told her that she must never open it, or let anybody open it for any reason.
After a short time, one of Prometheus' brothers, Epimetheus met Pandora and fell deeply in love with her.
She loved him as well and returned with him to his small village.
