潘多拉

在希腊神话中,潘多拉是第一个凡间女子,是众神精心打造的女人,可能是为了给人类带来痛苦。

普罗米修斯和埃庇米修斯的作品

泰坦普罗米修斯和埃庇米修斯在宙斯的授意下创造了一代没有女人的男人。 普罗米修斯 他为自己的创造物感到无比自豪,并力图将它们做到最好,但在这一过程中却经常激怒宙斯。

为了装备人类,普罗米修斯从神的工场里偷来了特征,从赫菲斯托斯的锻炉里偷来了火,还教会了人类如何献祭,确保他们把动物身上最好的部分留给自己。

普罗米修斯最终受到了宙斯的惩罚,他被锁在高加索山脉的一座山上,然后被一只巨鹰折磨。 不过,宙斯也决定惩罚人类。

众神打造的潘多拉

为此,宙斯指示赫淮斯托斯用粘土创造了一个女人,然后宙斯为这个创造物注入了生命。 创造完成后,雅典娜为这个女人披上了衣服,阿佛洛狄忒用优雅和美丽装饰了她,赫尔墨斯赋予了她说话的能力,而宙斯则赋予了她生命。 慈善组织 而 Horai 则为其献上了美妙的伴奏。

诸神还赐予了其他礼物,包括赫耳墨斯赐予的狡猾和撒谎的能力,以及赫拉赐予的好奇心。

于是,众神的创造物被赋予了一个名字--潘多拉,"天赋异禀"。

潘多拉和埃庇米修斯

随后,潘多拉被送到了 埃皮米修斯 埃庇米修斯没有远见卓识,尽管普罗米修斯曾警告他不要接受众神的任何礼物,埃庇米修斯还是看中了美丽的潘多拉,决定娶她为妻。

潘多拉和潘多拉魔盒

潘多拉带来了一个储物罐(或箱子或盒子),但有人警告潘多拉千万不要打开罐子。

不过,赫拉赋予她的好奇心最终让潘多拉决定窥探一下罐子的内部。 潘多拉轻轻地打开了瓶塞,但就在她这么做的时候,罐子里的东西还是从狭窄的缝隙中冲了出来。

潘多拉的盒子里装着世界上所有的罪恶,虽然潘多拉很快就关上了塞子,但劳作、痛苦、疾病、战争和贪婪等罪恶已经逃之夭夭。 事实上,潘多拉的盒子里只剩下了希望。

潘多拉 - 詹姆斯-斯梅瑟姆(1821-1899 年) - PD-art-100

虽然邪恶的释放最终会扭曲人类,以至于宙斯不得不结束这个人类时代,因为宙斯降下了大洪水,将人类灭绝。

还有一种观点认为,众神创造潘多拉并不是为了惩罚人类,而是为了证明奥林匹斯山的众神可以比普罗米修斯做得更好;只是赋予潘多拉的属性给人类带来了纷争。

潘多拉之女皮尔哈

潘多拉没有自己的父母,她是由众神创造的,但潘多拉与埃庇米修斯一起,将成为第一个凡人所生女性的母亲,因为潘多拉生下了皮拉。

Pyrrha 后来嫁给了她的堂兄、普罗米修斯的儿子 Deucalion。 Pyrrha 和 Deucalion 是大洪水之后新一代人类的祖先。
