The mythology stories are stories that Romans and other types of old groups believed, they are passed from generation to generation. They used to believe in gods and miracles that lived in stories like the story of Pandora. Long ago, there were gods living in the sky. They didn't know what pain and poverty were, so they created men and left them on earth to survive. Prometheus, the son of a titan god, was saddened to discover the plight of the humans, he knew their minds would let them make shelters and weapons to attack their prey (the animals) if they had the only material that was missing, fire.
Prometheus went to Hephaestus' room to steal a flame from the god's goblet of fire and give it to men even when fire shouldn't be on earth. When Zeus and Hephaestus discovered what had happened, they decided to declare revenge on Prometheus and the men. With each passing day Prometheus knew he was closer to seeing revenge happen. One day, Zeus created the first woman, Pandora. She was received with clothes made of velvet and gold jewellery around her neck that Epimetheus had given, brother of Prometheus. Epimetheus offered Pandora to stay in his house and so Pandora agreed to sleep there for the night. The next morning, Zeus gave Pandora a box and told her not to open it. Pandora shook the box and it didn't seem to have anything inside and wondered why not open a box that had nothing inside and then open the box feeling curious. After opening the box, she immediately regretted it. Winds of bad luck and misfortune flew around Pandora and so, they flew to freedom from the window and now all the bad things in the world are free but it wasn't Pandora's fault but Zeus's to know that she would open the box and then give it to her.
