Appearance
Pandora was the first woman in Greek mythology, created by the gods out of clay (from earth and water). She exudes an entrancing aura of seduction with breath-taking beauty, divine grace, charm and harmony. She is a perfect, flawless woman and once Pandora rose from the earth, she was immediately clothed by gitts of the gods. She always carries a box with her (a jar) as known as Pandora's box.
History
According to the Greek myth, Zeus wanted revenge on the god, Prometheus, for stealing fire from the immortals and giving it to the mortals. He ordered the god, Hephaestus, to create Pandora, the first woman and ordered the other gods to lavish her in a way that would entice mankind. Athena, the goddess of wisdom, gave Pandora clothes while Aphrodite, the goddess of love, gave her beauty. Necklaces, created by Hephaestus, were given to her by the Charites, goddesses of charm.
Adventures
Zeus gave Pandora a box, which he forbade her to open, and then sent her down to Earth. In her creation, the first woman was given curiosity. As a result, Pandora was unable to withstand temptation. When she peered into the box, she released all of the troubles, such as disease and conflict, which would later afflict mankind. In the end, the only thing remaining in her box was hope.
Relationships
Pandora was the first woman in Greek mythology, created by the gods out of clay. She was given the gifts of beauty by Aphrodite, music by Apollo and persuasion by Hermes. She was also given a vessel, known to most as Pandora's Box.
Symbols
The Symbol of Pandora is the box (the jar) with lid, and perhaps a doll. Some says she may be symbolised as a doll because the gods played woth her by dressing her and presenting her to man as a toy. She and her jar may be a symbol for thehope of eternity, as well as a symbol of dire warning for mankind to keep his nose out of what does not concern him. Pandora's box represents the natural instinct that is curiosity.
