Hello, what's the name of the first song?
What's the name of the ending song?
If Pandora was a modern day person and is a Vlogger...
"Hello guys, it's your girl Pandora. Today we'll have my first unboxing video."

Zeus is always the ultimate villain when talking about Greek myths.
The greek gods are more humanized and worldly than any other deities.
@@ValerioRhys burmaese and chinese gods?
@@karito2959 I never got to learn much about the Eastern gods. my own country's ancient gods included.
@@ValerioRhys noted
Guess why.. christianity took over Europe, it's no wonder they would twist the Greek and Nordic myths to sound terrible and evil lol
I feel like in this story Pandora shouldn’t be the villain. Pandora was literally made to have curiosity. The gods made her to be that way. It shouldn’t be her fault that she was the one that opened the box.
I feel that the Gods knew that prometheus's brother wouldn't accept gifts so they planned all of this to punish the titan brothers further. That's how petty and cruel they are
ladynikkie right.
@@ladynikkie that's why they made her curious
That was the plan. They knew eventually she'd try to look in the box, thus cursing not just the titans but all of humanity on earth
And they also TOLD her not to open the box. Curiosity is no excuse for being insubordinate. Shes definitely the villian.
Notice how pandora's box relatively parallels eve's apple?
Yeah, interesting. It could be that the myth of genesis was influenced by the Greek mythology as we know the may biblical stories were created around the cultural environment of Greece.
the bible copied plenty from paganisms
@@jkahgdkjhafgsd True, Christianity could be seen as a combination of paganism, traditional Judaism and mythology.
@@HegemonicMarxism what if every religion is inspired by the monotheistic one, aleggedly it being the oldest? what if it's the same thing distorted by different factors?
@@TheGabit I don't know "what if" because it's not. The monotheistic religion isn't the oldest though. The oldest religion known is Hinduism which is politheistic. Also, the shamanic practices which are the most rudimentar and primar form of spirituality are not monotheistic. So, if there was a major old religion throughout others were derived based on certain factors it wouldn't be monotheistic. The monotheistic concept was formed in the abrahamic religions which are most more recent than the Egyptian, Babylonian or Sumerian mythological traditions.
I kinda hate zues for creating sins to make humans impure...
Zeus always screws with humanity (literally)
These are just stories nothing is real
@@jahaantanna6519 but is real for the people who live in the past:v
@@nasheldimas4339 yes n not only Zeus other good creates problems some or the other way.
it's the story of the fall of man by choice
Stories of the first "woman" always made "curious" female the cause of impurity in humanity. I'm not surprised that many societies held social stigma that woman shouldn't study or pursue knowledge up until the late 1900s, with all these preceded preaching that try to put woman in her place.
Personally, I think "curiousity" is an inherantly human quality because why are we even here if we do not want to learn more.
Same with Eve and the apple.
Totally agree
there can't be true suffering without hope

Fun Fact
pandora's box is a mistranslation.
it is actually pandora's jar.
So how did they close the jar?
@@bmilano1580 they didn't.
Did it have a lid?
Did it have a lid?
@@nation5743 yes
That’s really an interesting take on the ending. Typically, at least when I’ve heard the myth, hope was seen as a good thing. It was taken as a symbol of well...hope. It’s seen as good. But the way u described it was a complete 180°, describing how it just extended the suffering with a few occasional moments of bliss. I like that!
Facts
Friedrich Nietzsche - Human, All Too Human
Section Two: On the History of Moral Feelings - Aphorism # 71:
Hope. Pandora brought the jar with the evils and opened it. It was the gods' gift to man, on the outside a beautiful, enticing gift, called the "lucky jar." Then all the evils, those lively, winged beings, flew out of it. Since that time, they roam around and do harm to men by day and night. One single evil had not yet slipped out of the jar. As Zeus had wished, Pandora slammed the top down and it remained inside. So now man has the lucky jar in his house forever and thinks the world of the treasure. It is at his service; he reaches for it when he fancies it. For he does not know that that jar which Pandora brought was the jar of evils, and he takes the remaining evil for the greatest worldly good--it is hope, for Zeus did not want man to throw his life away, no matter how much the other evils might torment him, but rather to go on letting himself be tormented anew. To that end, he gives man hope. In truth, it is the most evil of evils because it prolongs man's torment.
One of my favourite stories.
❤
Zeus was definitely a genius
He managed to turn the optimistic element of Hope into a pessimist one
🎉
Prometheus was smarter. He made man in such a way that struggle makes him stronger and made him in such a way that he can find joy in the struggle itself.
@@GALA89 Zeus still won so he's smarter
@@user-tp9uw1pr6m did he?
@@GALA89 yes he trapped him in a rock
Pandora's Box. The worst "Kinder Surprise Egg" ever...
And people wonder why I really hate surprises.
Loot Boxes.... Nope, frigging no.
You're not living in a fantasy world. No evil box will be doing that to you anytime soon. Grow up
@@6byrontenorio be gone you surprise mechanics lover!
Zeus gave us hope but with that he managed to extend our punishment indefinitely. What is this? Do I feel thankful or angry.
❤
Athens saying medusa a villian when she created her like bruh
The medusa story actually has several versions.
In one telling, Medusa was a vain and spoiled woman who declared she is prettier than Athena and demanded Athena's statue be replaced with her own.
In another story Medusa was not human to begin with, rather she is one of the three gorgons, beside Stheno and Euryale.
Crazy how hope would be inside as well. Never knew about that part and it was the best kicker to the story.
❤
I love this channel... Its the best
I've waited for this video
Suddenly I remembered what my teacher said to my class 'You people are the contents of the pandora box and when your time ends in this school the box will be opened to the world' That time we were dumbfounded and doesn't understand what she said we thought inside the box were gifts for the humanity and we didn't bother looking up for it. Just today something about pandora box came up on my yt shorts and and I remembered what my teacher said that day I searched for this and found this💀💀💀.
❤
Those are the true teachers....
I love your stories! Wish they were a bit longer. Do you have Spotify? X
❤
I didn't know until this point that Prometheus's and Pandora's story were connected
Hell's yeah bruh, just like the rivalry of Athena and poseidon are connected to medusa's backstory and medusa's children. PLUS how the aegis that zeus had given to athena that was modified by the goddess (the shield with medusa's head that brands like to use)
can you please do one with Chinese mythology, I’m curious
❤
Hope was found at the bottom of the box. Hope gave strength to man not to give up his life when facing evils and obstacles that afflict him. With hope zeus managed to extend the punishment imposed on men, indefinitely.
Was he wrong?
Wow I love this looks so amazing 😁
❤
Thank you see u in history for video
How is pandora the first woman while Prometheus already created humans????
@Baby Nunu in 0:17 you can see female human
@@superchickendinner9023 No in that panel they are all dude. Just some have long hair.
@@3triplezero0 then we should call pandora the first female human
And I think that will make sense
Haphastus or I'm wrong created pandora
First woman created by gods. Humans were created by Prometheus and his brother.
great job man, i am fascinated! what is the source of informations that you use for videos?
❤
Awesome
Great video! Well done my fellow creator!
❤
This video is great you can learn a lot about this video
So he gave them hope only so that they endure suffering for longer!? Wow, Zeus's is petty.
But genius
“Humans shouldn’t pray to monsters” -Kratos
❤
I'm sure this has been noticed, but Pandora is given a Jar, not a box.
❤
i found it so strange how this story is equivalent to adam and eve story.
Facts facts facts
It's not strange, this version of the story is the post medieval one that turned it into the story of Adam and Eve. Pandora literally opened the pithos straight away in the original because she was created to bring the evils into the world and she did exactly what she was told to do.
Originally, it was Pandora's Jar not a box. Pandora's box was just a mistranslation.
❤
Hope must be evil as well if it was also in the box.
Elpis wasn't evil. She stayed there because it meant that she's still hope in the midths of crisis, if she left or she was given permission to leave. The world and humanity would crumble because it meant, if you give up hope, you're giving up on your life and humanity. It would mean the end of civilization
@@gleamingandshining971 I don't know what you are trying to say.
In some versions hope WAS specifically described as the last and worst plague of all, making humans willingly prolong their own suffering in hopes that somehow things would get better for them, which obviously never happened.
You could also interpret it from a yin yang philosophy. You can't have a box full of the world's Evils without a little Good.
Wonderful soundtrack
Could you by any chance know its name?
@@smwesige nope. Curious too tho
Fun fact; it wasn't a box, it was a jar
❤
Could you please make videos on Irish and Celtic mythology too
❤
How very good I love it so good 👍🤩😇
Nice stories...
I don't know much English, but this guy has 3 channels, I mean the same channel but in 3 different languages in Spanish, Portuguese and English 😮
The way this just switched the purpose of hope to me
You had one job epimethus
Hey, this is my Play for my school!
I love mythology!
do you have any video about Persian gods?
This guys good
Legends have it that, Pandora's unboxing started unboxing nowadays. 😅🤣😂
Kratos opened Pandora's box and kratos started to care about pandora
❤
Which soundtrack you use in this video?
Prometheus: why is my brother a simp
Good video 👍🏻 All she had to do was not open the box
was searching about the singer "Pandora's Box" but stumbled upon this video
not complaing tho its good
Maybe I am not first but happy to be early what if these mythologies were holy books of religion imagine Norse
Greece etc.( You could reply thanks for liking my comment 😄😊)
Pandora is my favourite character 🎉❤🎉
Can someone please tell me the name of the music in the ending please!?
even pandora releasing evil form the box.. she found something powerfull force : hope
Zeus is the main villain in Greek mythology
Pretty sure he is the protagonist
So basically, no matter where the story comes from, is always a woman that screws us ove huh
The version I'm familiar with is the box belonged to Epimetheus because otherwise what difference would it make whether or not he accepted Pandora or not.
That makes sense. I was a little confused until I read your comment.
That one room in the house you never clean.
To this day we are still afflicted
Time to take out Zeus
So, before Pandora opened the box... what was Ares (the God of War) doing until then?
Soooo… Pandora’s like … Eve?
*Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It's what we fight with when all else is lost.*
Wait a minute...
if Seuz wants to punish human
why he also puts "hope"?
Didn't he only want their suffering?
Well it’s hard to say it all lies with interpretation.
- The Good Hope: Many interpret that Zeus would think that all the evils and maladies were very powerful, too powerful. In order to balance it out he put hope as source of good so that humanity CAN have a chance despite all the atrocities.
- A Bad Hope: Others assume that Hope was to prolong suffering and incur ignorance. Zeus thought that by having humanity hopeful they would allow evil to exist and they could only hope and not accomplish.
It really depends on your interpretation, however I myself tend to be hopeful and focus on the former.
@@S-payanage I see. It seems though in either case Seuz himself didn't do much though than to sit on his realm while watching them be hopeful though 😭😭😭😭😭😭 to that thing.
Poor humans, if only there's at least a story where a deity truly comes down to solve them despite the chaos that the humans have.
The only one that wanted their suffering was hera cause she hates men so she gave pandora curiousity to open the box and unleash everything on people
And thus was born the “what’s in the box” cliche.
Imagine if pandora didnt open the box...
It was hope that Kratos used in order to destroy Zeus!😎
Which two nouns are in this story pandora's box
Omg i just realized, this is very similar to original sin from the bible
Yep, this version of the story is very similar. It's almost like medieval European Christians retold the story to make it like the story from the bible.
Zeus is the real villain, that is what god of war taught me
and christian twisting of greek myths
That cursed box made Pandora crazy? But Curiosity consumed her soul.
Pandora’s box is the reason she looked inside
Huh?
You mean her curiosity is what made her look inside of it.
@@andrewyerian214 its a joke figure the joke out and get back to me
It is not a box, it is a pithos a kind of jar.
All the gods of the myths are villains
Yes they were the fallen angels that pretended to be gods.
Not hestia, or demeter
@@blacknonbinarydisabledlesbian or even Hades, bc he didn't choose to be a king of underworld, and he's tired af by this kind of hard job with all of those people souls that have an eternal wave of coming to his domains...
@@killerqueen251 tru tru
@@joimy95 Where is your proof for that(that the god's of my ancestors were fallen angels from Abrahamic faiths)?
The last evil to come out of Pandora's box... is what man suffers of the most.
I LOVE THE NAME PANDORA
In the fighting game Street Fighter X Tekken, an object from space nicknamed "Pandora's box" gives it's holder supernatural power, at the cost if their humanity
Prometheus is the only deity worth worshipping it seems.
bien
What if hope is the greatest of all evils
Without hope there would be no suffering and people would give up so hope is the worst thing in the box
Doesn't pandora mean many gifts?
It means "all-gifted"
Will you show monkey king
Yesssssss
so shes the reason why i my relatives steals my leftovers?
Hope was in the jar beacuse it was and evil force, and also if you pay attention it was at the bottom of the jar.
Only meaning when all else fails/lost hope is the last resort to fight back
One thing about the story I don't get, when Pandora opened the box the evils left and that caused them to affect Humanity but Hope stayed in the box so Humanity had hope? Shouldn't she have left the box as well to give Humanity hope?
💜💜💜💜💜
So "hope" is a punishment! I thought so.
i kinda hate Zeus and Poseidon (Zeus for creating sins and Poseidon for another reason in, an other vid)
Whoever wrote Adam and Eve tale must have been inspired by this story
With Enkidu too...
Pandora's box was actually written after Genesis
Listening test:-)
Wow the thought of man before was pure
So it's basically a version of Eve and Adam
Wasnt it a vase?
