1st Women on Earth Did you know that Pandora was the first women on the Earth? Well she was and how she got there was magical, i’m gonna teach you about Pandora the goddess of gifts. It will start by telling you about how Pandora made it to Earth and who she was created by, Pandora’s box, and about her life. Pandora was created by the gods (which means she’s a goddess) she is the goddess of gifts. Men were created before women, they were made out of gold, silver, bronze and iron. Pandora wasn’t a gift she was a punishment to everyone. She was created out of Earth and Water, the gods gave her a human voice and strength. The gods then gave her gifts and taught her crafts. But she was starting

Pandora couldn’t get what was in the box that Zeus had given her off of her mind. She kept thinking that maybe the box had money in it nice clothes or even jewelry. She then opened the box. Pandora felt the weight of the world on her shoulders and looked at the box that had turned rusty and hideous. She got told not to open it but she couldn’t hold in her curiosity so she opened it and she was baffled by everything that started escaping. So many evil such as ghosts, poverty, misery, sadness and death. Hope was captured when she shut the box, when she reopened it hope started touching the evil wounds. Along with the evil feelings, she had also revealed hope, the only good thing that Zeus had trapped inside the box.
She was the first mortal human woman. She was married to the Titan Epimetheus and they had a daughter named Pyrrha, who married Deukalion, son of Prometheus (brother of Epimetheus). Through Pyrrha, Epimetheus and Pandora were the ancestors of the human race. About half of the heroes and heroines of Greek mythology could trace their ancestry directly to Pandora. She didn’t have any specific parents, if she did it would be Zeus because that’s who created her.
In conclusion Pandora was created for revenge, but in the end she helped and ruined people's lives, she tried as hard as possible to do what she needed to-to make what she did to everyone better in some way shape or form. The big picture here is not to trust anyone with anything it could look like something good but in the end they may just be trying to ruin you're life and everyone

    First, Zeus commissioned his fellow gods to make a beautiful woman from clay and bring her to life. When this was done, he and all of the gods taught her how to behave and get on in society. Now, Zeus was ready to bring revenge to the world. He put Pandora on the earth and offered her in marriage to Prometheus' brother, Epimetheus, who, though he had been warned not to, accepted Zeus' beautiful gift and married Pandora. As a wedding present, Zeus gave the happy couple one thing: a small with a large lock and instructions never to open it under any circumstances. All was well until one day, eaten away with curiosity, Pandora could not restrain herself any longer: she opened the box, sending out awful things which were shaped like biting moths. Out flew such things as sickness, famine, and poverty, all biting Pandora and leaving her with awful wounds. At this she screamed out in pain and slammed the box shut, filled with regret for her actions. She was too late, though, for when her husband rushed in and found her with the box, all of the…

    In the past, women have been generally regarded as inferior to men. This can been seen through the way women were treated in society, having little rights and freedom, and subjected to the whims and fancy of their husbands. They were regarded as not only mentally inferior to men but also physically inferior. In addition, they were seen as evil and a master of seduction. In Greek mythology, for instance, it was said that a woman named Pandora, brought disaster and suffering to mankind by opening the forbidden box. Ancient Roman law condemned women to be forever inferior to men.…

    The legend of Lilith began when rabbis first noticed there were 2 accounts of the creation of woman in the book of Genesis that contradict each other. Genesis 1 says God created man and woman at the same time, whereas Genesis 2 says he created woman from man. Although she is not mentioned directly in the bible Lilith is referenced as a screech owl, a night creature. However, she is talked about in some Jewish text and the Dead Sea Scrolls.…

    Greek Good Vs Evil

    When it comes to this topic, there are two stories. The first is the story of the five stages, and the second is the story of Prometheus and Epimetheus. The stories, so different, agree on something (page 10). At the beginning, there were only men on earth. Later on, Zeus created Pandora as the first woman. She was a gift, but more of a punishment. She was created for getting revenge on all of mankind. If you ask me, I think the story of Prometheus and his brother makes more sense, and it reaches out to me more. Both stories were tremendously fascinating, but I enjoyed reading about Prometheus and Epimetheus more.…

    Female Goddess Figurines

    • 1056 Words
    • 5 Pages

    It was given a distinct signature that is still attached to this female figurine. To date, most of the scholarly writings have not given these feminine artifacts or the ensuing scholarly exploration on them legitimate status. However, the multitude of evidence proves that goddess worship is older than god worship. The earliest goddesses were faceless which, I believe, illustrated their multi-representative purpose amongst their culture and religion. Most of the figurines are designed without any feet, depicted as coming from the ground which quite possibly demonstrates the idea and beliefs of the mother earth concept. Many of these female figures were naked and big breasted with plentiful, robust buttocks and bellies. These artifacts exemplified the stature of the prehistoric female deity, which demonstrated strong prominent powers of the goddesses through the females ability to experience female menstruation and child birth, which was clearly unobtainable by the male population throughout prehistory. Various figurines also represent the female as pregnant, giving birth, or nursing a child. Therefore it appears that there were several different aspects of the goddess or female figure which seemingly…
