Pandora and Eve are the First Women - ... Pandora was created as punishment to mankind and Prometheus for disobeying Zeus and for the theft of the secret of fire. Pandora's main purpose in life was to open a jar and unleash all the evils and misfortunes onto the world and once she did that, the only thing remaining inside the box was hope.

Eve and Pandora Teach a Lesson on Temptation - In the bible, Eve was the first woman on the face of the earth. In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first woman on earth.

Hephaestus made Pandora using clay. “Zeus summoned the gods and asked them each to give her a gift.” (Heroes, Gods and Monsters of the Greek Myths, Page 59) Many gods gave her talents and looks, and this is why Pandora means, “All-gifted.” Pa...

Treatment of Females in The Odyssey and Now - Throughout the course of history, society had stereotyped women, making it merely impossible for a woman to achieve her goals and desires in life. This had weighed them not as equals, and for this, they were given different standards by which to live. At this day and age, and during the ancient Greek times, women have always been treated as second best by biased men, although today’s society has started to understand this inequality better as time progresses further into the future. Even with society becoming more equal for women, females are still treated similar as to time of the ancient Greeks....
