He and his brother, Epimetheus created men with mixed mud and water. They taught men some skills also. To help men, Prometheus stole the fire from Zeus. This gifts allowed men to make weapons subdue the other animals, cultivate the earth, cook, warm their homes… Zeus burst in to anger and punished Prometheus. Zeus made a woman named Pandora—— The first woman in the world. She, along with a mysterious box, was then presented to Epimetheus, who gladly accepted her, though his brother cautioned him to beware of Zeus and his gifts. Pandora was warmed not to open the box. But she could not control her curiosity. One day, she slipped off the cover and looked in, thousands of tiny monsters escaping from the box——envy, revenge, ill, disaster, death…. They were running and flying out of the box in all directions, spreading out into the world. Pandora hastened to replace the lid! But the whole contents of the box had escaped, only one thing excepted. After a minute, she heard a small voice cry out, Please open the lid of the box.

Pandora opened the box again, the last thing left was “hope”.From that day on, people began to get sick, grow old, and die. But they would always have Hope to help them. This was the punishment of Zeus upon men for taking fire from the gods.潘多拉寶盒普洛米修斯是一個泰坦神,他和他的弟弟厄庇墨透斯用泥土和誰創(chuàng)造了人類,但只有男人。并教會他們各種技能,為了幫助人類,普洛米修斯甚至去盜竊了宙斯的圣火,從而使得人們可以抗擊動物襲擊,耕種,做飯,溫暖房屋。宙斯知道以后勃然大怒并懲罰了普洛米修斯。宙斯制作了世界上第一個女人叫潘多拉。并把她以及一個神秘的盒子送給了厄庇墨透斯作為禮物。盡管被兄長警告要小心,但厄庇墨透斯很喜歡潘多拉。潘多拉被警告不要打開盒子,但她無法控制她的好奇心。一天,她輕輕掀開盒子,于是危害人類的大量天災(zāi)降臨人間——嫉妒,報復(fù),疾病,災(zāi)難,死亡等。潘多拉立即合上蓋子,但幾乎所有的災(zāi)難都已經(jīng)散播開來——除了一樣。這時,她聽到盒子里有一個微弱的聲音——“請打開盒子,我和其他人不一樣,我能幫助人類,能夠彌補的過失,減輕他們的痛苦”潘多拉再次打開盒子——最后剩在盒子里的是希望。于是從那一天起,人們的生活有了疾病,衰老,死亡的困擾。但由于有希望的存在,人們依然堅強的生活下去。這一切,就是宙斯因為人類盜取圣火,而給人類的懲
