00:00In seeking vengeance against Prometheus for his theft of fire for humanity,
00:04Zeus devised a clever and sinister punishment.
00:07He crafted Pandora, the inaugural woman, endowing her with beauty and charm.
00:12Alongside this gift, Zeus presented a sealed box with a strict warning
00:17never to open it under any circumstances.
00:20Despite the warnings, Pandora's insatiable curiosity prevailed.
00:24Upon her arrival on Earth, she wed Epimetheus, Prometheus' brother.
00:29The temptation to uncover the box's contents became unbearable,
00:33and when she finally opened it, all the evils, diseases,
00:36and misfortunes that had existed before were released into the world.
00:40Pandora desperately attempted to close the box, but it was too late.
00:44However, amidst the emerging evils, a tiny, radiant creature called Hope emerged.
00:49Although damage had been done, Hope endured among humanity,
00:53offering solace and strength during their darkest moments.
