This week's #MythologyMonday theme is hope. When #Zeus was angered by #Prometheus stealing fire for us mortals, he sent #Pandora to Prometheus' dim-witted brother Epimetheus as a bride. Even though Prometheus had warned him never to accept a gift of Zeus, Epimetheus wedded Pandora and among the wedding gifts was a special jar (pithos), not a box (pyxis, probably a replication error). Pandora or Epimetheus opened the jar and, depending on the version...
"Did Hermes also give you a name, beautiful?" #Peitho dipped a brush into the paint and drew gently across pearly lips, turning pink into a bright, seductive red.
"Yes. He called me #Pandora. Because I received a gift from every god that holds Olympos. What is your gift to me?"
