The creation of Pandora by all the gods.
(1) Hephaestus is instructed to mold Pandora out of “earth and water” giving her the face of a goddess and a beautiful figure;
(2) Athena teaches her embroidery and weaving, and dresses her in fancy clothes;
(3) Aphrodite is instructed to give her sex appeal, desire, and anguish;
(4) The Graces and the goddess Persuasion give her jewelry to wear;
(5) And the Seasons give her a flower-crown;
(6) Finally, Hermes gives her a “bitchy mind and a cheating heart”, lies and deception, and a voice.
She is called Pandora, because she is given “gifts” by (almost) “all” the Olympian gods. |
