Texte du Storyboard
- I am so angry with Prometheus for giving the gift of fire to the mortals!
- Come here Prometheus and Epimetheus!
- Here we are.
- What is it, Zeus?
- Well, first of all, Prometheus. You gave the gift of fire to the mortals. I am so angry about that. Such a wonderful thing should be only for gods like us, not lowly mortals.
- Sorry Zeus.
- You will be severely punished for what you've done. I'll deal with you later. Now Epimetheus.
- Y-y-yes, Zeus.
- To you, I have a gift. A wife! I made her myself with some help from the other gods.
- Great! What is she like?
- See for yourself. Gods, bring in Pandora!
- Here she is. I, Aphrodite, have given her beauty so she can please your eyes.
- I, Hermes, have given her a clever tongue so she can amuse you.
- I, Apollo, have given her the gift of music so she can entertain you.
- Zeus had given her the gift of curiosity.
- But he didn't mention that to Epimetheus.
- Wow, she's wonderful.!Thank you, Zeus!
- No fair! Why does Epimetheus get a gift?
- Oh never mind, Prometheus. Go live happily together, Epimetheus and Pandora. Oh. yes, take this box as a wedding gift. But you must never, ever, open it!
- Pandora's Box
- We won't . It's beautiful! Thank you again!
- So Zeus punished Prometheus by chaining him to a rock, while Epimetheus went home with his new wife Pandora.
- Little did they know, Zeus's plan to punish the mortals was about to unfold.
- Okay, Epi, we're in our own home now. Let's see what's in the box.
- Pandora's Box
- Oh no, Pandora. I promised Zeus we wouldn't.
- You are a married god now. You don't have to listen to Zeus.
- Yes I do, and you should too. He is a very powerful god, the most powerful! If he says don't open the box, you don't open the box, and that's that!
- Pandora's Box
- I am Hope. Keep me in the box.
- Hmmm. . . I didn't promise anything. But maybe Epimetheus is right. Still, what could happen? It seems like a harmless box. There are probably some fine dishes or jewels in it. I must find out! No, I shouldn't. But it is my wedding present too. I will!
- Don't do it Pandora!
- Pandora's Box
- Listen to your husband and to almighty Zeus!
- I don't have to listen to anyone! Go away!
- You'll be sorry!
- Pandora's Box
- Pandora took a little gold key and opened the box a crack.
- Just a little peek . . .
- Pandora's Box
- Suddenly, out popped the world's Miseries, ready to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting mortals!
- Ah-Ha! You foolish girl! You have let us out!
- Who are you?
- Pandora's Box
- OLD AGE
- DISEASE
- What have I done?
- WAR
- HATE
- CRUELTY
- Pandora's Box
- DEATH
- DISAPPOINTMENT
- JEALOUSY
- PAIN
- Well, who are you? You don't seem very miserable.
- You have played out Zeus's punishment for accepting Prometheus's gift of fire. These Miseries will go out among man and cause them much suffering.
- Pandora's Box
- The Miseries will go out among the mortals. But I will remain so that human will always have me in spite of all the evils that have gone out among them. I will help them bear the pain, but only if I remain safe inside this box.
- Pandora's Box
- Oh. okay. Bye-bye now.
- Pandora's Box
- And so Pandora shut the box, leaving Hope inside to help man bear the new Miseries.
- Pandora's Box
- And to this day, when someone "opens Pandora's box," he or she causes trouble.
- Some wedding gift! I really wanted a toaster! Ha ha!
