Prometheus stole fire from the heavens. To punish him, the Olympians gave his brother, Epimetheus, this woman, Pandora. Before this presenting, the gods gave her a wedding gift and a box, which she was told not to open. So the new married couple lived together even though Prometheus, had warned Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus. One day, Epimetheus left Pandora for a few hours. Usually Epimetheus would keep back Pandora's curiosity, another gift from the gods, but with him gone, Pandora's curiosity got the best of her. She decided to take a glance inside the box. Immediately when she opened it, creatures flew out forcefully. She was unable to close the box. Each creature carried a curse into the world, that we know as sin. There was adultery, greed, lust, murder, illness, and many more. They kept flying out of the box. Pandora thought it would never end. Then, finally, it stopped. Pandora looked inside the box and found one more creature unlike the rest. It carried a good item that we know as hope.
