interventions: A Strange Jar
A Strange Jar (“The Container Store”)
Zeus is the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek religion, who rules as king of the gods of Mount Olympus. When Prometheus stole fire from the gods, Zeus created Pandora as a punishment for mankind. Zeus, commissioned the god Hephaestus to sculpt a beautiful woman out of clay, and she was given gifts from a few gods before she was sent down to fulfill her purpose. Pandora was sent to be the wife of Epimetheus (Prometheus's brother), and only brought one thing with her: a container full of all the world's evils. Zeus didn't tell Pandora what was inside the box - instead, he told her never to open it, and then gave the key to her husband.
