Despite Jupiter's disapproval, Prometheus devotes his life to aiding mortals in their path to civilization.

Although king of Olympus, Jupiter fails to act as a just ruler. Jupiter often butts heads with Prometheus, causing most of the conflicts in the story.

However, he is not as relevant of a character due to him dwelling on the past. He's so caught up about what has already happened, it proves difficult for him to be completely focused on the future of the human race.

Being beautiful and in possession of many god-given gifts, Prometheus accepted her with open arms. One of the most prominent gifts, however, was curiosity. This is proven to be quite traumatic when she can't resist opening the package sent with her to Earth. Out escaped the demons of the world (ie. anxiety, depression), punishing Prometheus in the process.

Athena warned Pandora NEVER to open the box in fear of releasing something terrible. In the end, Athena's directions were ignored and the monsters were released.

In a bout of rage, Jupiter gathers other powerful gods, creates a god named Pandora, and sends her down to Earth with a delivery. Athena warned Pandora never to open the box. With Pandora being extremely gifted, Prometheus welcomed her as his wife. Later, however, Pandora's curiosity got the better of her and she opened the box, releasing creatures of death, misfortune, and depression. This in turn punished Prometheus for his actions.

This can be found in the text when the author describes the "Mighty Ones who lived upon the mountain top."(Paragraph 1, Baldwin) and later expands upon "the Lower World."(Paragraph 1, Baldwin) Jupiter's descriptions most often occurred on Mount Olympus, while Epimetheus and Prometheus's descriptions happened on Earth.]]> 2019-04-12 01:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/4804103982/r1fpq015zede/wish/351019068 4804103982 https://padlet.com/4804103982/r1fpq015zede/wish/351021837 The main theme of "The Story of Prometheus and Pandora's Box" is to resist the urge of temptation for the greater good. This theme was developed and expanded upon through different characters, changes in setting, and the progression of the plot. All of these aspects can be seen in one moment of the story. "She opened the lid a very little, just to peep inside."(Paragraph 32, Baldwin) The character that embodies this theme is Pandora. Crafted by the gods, Pandora's main gift was curiosity. The change in setting happened when Panora was sent down from the gods to Earth in an attempt to punish prometheus, in turn furthering the theme. Lastly, the plot also played a role in the theme. This is because the chain of events in the story lead to that event, establishing the theme in the process.
