Old Greek mythology: A gift from Zeus

when the world was just formed, it was different from what it looks like today.

people then knew nothing about disease, cold, hunger and distress, and winter did not exist for the immortal and happy people and plants.

the people at the time were so strong, wise and beautiful that zeus was so disturbed that he feared that the throne would be taken away.

so zeus decided to overcome the power of man once and for all.

once, zeus called his son hewestos and said to him, "bring me some copper and make me a girl who will be more beautiful than any other beautiful woman.

hewestos entered a working room in the middle of a great mountain in libeno 1.

the day passed, and he did not return to the earth, but he worked unstoppably, smelting copper in the crayons of the bears, with hammers, and from time to time looking into the eyes of his groaning artist.

however, he was always dissatisfied, destroyed a fresh start, worked tirelessly and made his work perfect.

limino is an island north of the aegean sea.

one day the gods finally heard his hammer stop.

soon after hewestos came out of the mountains exhausted, and he was sweating black and with his hands covered with an image like a real baby.

he placed it before zeus proudly, and lifted it out — a childish woman who appeared before him.

when zeus saw it, he had to smile.

hephaistus is a real craftsman! for zeus, beauty is not enough.

he has called the gods to give every god a gift to her.

athena gave her wisdom; aphrodite gave her beauty; hera gave her the grace of a nobleman; artemis gave her strength and flexibility ...

so, every god gave her an advantage.

finally, zeus took her to her hand, gave her the highest gift — life — and named her pandora 1.

then he took hermes to bring her to the earth.

1 pandora is the transliteration of greek and means a gift for all.

hermes first brought her directly to prometheus because he was the strongest of men and their protector.

prometheus turned a blind eye and immediately refused.

hermes then led her into the cabin of ebimitheus, the brother of prometheus.

the messenger of god said, “the gods and fathers of man, zeus, have sent you this girl to express to you his love for you and for all of us.” abigail misius looked at pandora and was immediately fascinated by her beauty.

apparently, he would not hesitate to accept her immediately.

but then the cabin came dark, and a big body appeared in front of the door, blocking the light, and the man shouted, "zeus does not love humans, and he didn't give presents in good faith! alas, do you accept this gift?" hermes turned his head in anger.

who dares say that? but his eyes saw prometheus, a strong and strong man, who had timidly bowed his head and said nothing.

abby meechus, look at pan againDora, feel like she's so innocent and beautiful.

Pandora immediately understood that he was in a state of hesitation at the moment, and he was smiling and reaching out to him with his arm.

Her smile was so sweet and sweet that Abigail Misius forgot his brother and his advice.

He reached out and dragged her to his side and cried out, "You stay now!" You're my man." When Hermes turned around to visit Prometheus, he found Prometheus disappearing at the door.

It was not until then that he was able to breathe easily and produce a big wooden box for Abby Metheus.

“This is a gift from Zeus to you, but he told you not to open it without permission.” He said, while he put the wooden box in the corner of the room.

After completing this order, Hermes returned to Olympus with pleasure。
