- The Myth of Pandora's Box
- I am the God Zeus.  I am not really happy that humans have fire. But I am going to let this go, for now, and find a really creative way to punish them. 
- Zeus, you always have such good and devious plans -- you are truly the most powerful God on Mount Olympus!
- Zeus makes a decision on the first mortal
- I am going to order the gods to make the first mortal woman ever -- I think I shall call her Pandora and send her to Earth - her name means "all gifts". But they don't know that gifts do not have to be just good ones -- there can be bad ones too, and that is what these good-for-nothings are going to get!
- So your plan is to send Pandora down to earth, and give her this box, and tempt her with it, and see if she opens it? Wow, that is creative!
- Pandora is given a heavily secured box 
- I  was given this box -- it is very tightly secured. and they said to never open it -- but I am so curious -- what is inside?
- just remember - the Gods said to never open the box!
- Pandora just can't help from opening it
- But you were told to never open it -- and you promised. I am afraid what will happen if you do not follow the instructions exactly as told to you, Pandora. 
- I am tired of staring at this - what can it hurt to just take one quick look?
- All of the evil things in the world burst out of the box -- 
- Why? Why? Everything is now destroyed, and ruined, and you can never get that stuff back into the box!
- i should not have done that -- look at all of the pain, disease and disaster that has been unleashed on the world.
- The moral lesson: curiousity can be dangerous
- Please learn from my error - when people order you to not do something -- follow directions -- it is for the best -- you never know what trouble will befall you, like it did to me.
- Can someone help a Minotaur out? I am stranded in here.
