Zeus made Pandora, the first mortal woman, because he was mad at Prometheus who had given the mortals special gifts. Zeus decided to give the mortals one more gift, and that was Pandora. Each god gave her something to make her perfect. Venus gave her beauty, Mercury gave her persuasion, Apollo gave her music, Hephaestus gave her voice, Hermes gave her pettiness, finally she was ready for Earth.

Zeus gave her to Epimetheus ( Prometheus's brother). Prometheus had said to Epimetheus," Don't take anything from the Olympians, especially Zeus." Epimetheus was about to decline, but as soon as he looked at her and saw her beauty, he accepted the gift. Epimetheus gave Pandora a box that she was forbidden to open. Every day Pandora wondered what was in the box. She knew she must not open it, but she was extremely curious and could not bear not to know its contents. As soon as she pulled the cover off, all of the evil and mistrust flew out into the world. When Pandora looked at the bottom of the box, she saw that the only thing left was hope.
