SUMMARY OF THE STORY:

After Prometheus gave fire to humans, Zeus sought vengeance. He ordered
Hephaestus to create the first human woman out of soil and water. Each god
bestowed a gift upon the woman: Athena gave her wisdom, Aphrodite beauty,
Hermes cunning, and so on. The woman's name was Pandora (meaning “all gifts” in
Greek). Zeus gave Pandora a jar, warning her not to open it under any
circumstances, and sent her to Prometheus’ brother, Epimetheus. Despite
Prometheus's warning to his brother not to accept any gifts from Zeus, Epimetheus
accepted Pandora, who, though she tried hard to resist temptation, opened the jar
and released all evils upon the world. Hatred, war, death, hunger, sickness, and all
disasters were immediately released.

mother, searched desperately for her daughter, causing the earth's crops to wither.
