Pandora was the first mortal woman, breathed into being by Hephaestus, god of fire. The gods gave her gifts of language, craftsmanship and emotion. From Zeus she received two gifts: the trait of curiosity and a heavy box screwed tightly shut — never to be opened. But what treasure could never be seen by human eyes, and why was it in her care? Iseult Gillespie explores the mystery of Pandora’s box.

Ted Ed has always amused and educated us in unique and fun way.Thank You team Ted Ed always appreciated your efforts.
i know its for kids and a quick tale but accuracy would be good, especially with pithos which means large urn later mistranslated to box
Pandora was not the first mortal in the earth it was Eve and ?
Hephaestus: Hey guys, I made a daughter
Zeus: I'm about to end this woman's whole career
Pandora was that kid that always asked why for every answer you give the kid
APHRODITE GAVE HER BEUTY SO WHEN THEY SHOED HER TO A MAN WHO DID SOMTHING BAD TO THE GREEK GODS HE SAID YES AND ETC
Why didn’t Zeus tell her what’s in the box and he gave her Curiosity as a test or because he knew she would open it
Fun Fact: I am the newest comment as of writing this (12/1/2019 at 2:05 am)
IT WAS A JAR DAMN IT
The forbidden apple…
Imagine The Box is Area 51 and we're Pandora and has extreme curiosity.
Pandora had Extreme sense of attention to detail….. What would she think of Hearts of iron 4?
Zeus: gives her extreme curiosity also Zeus: gives her a box to never open
Um Zeus are you drunk
Zeus is fcked up man
“This is why we don’t tamper with the unknown”
People try to raid Area 51
I know this is a legend… But what did Zues expect would happen if he gave the gifts of extreme curiosity and a box not to be opened… I mean come on bruh!
Zeus: Gives a box to Pandora that is not to be opened in any circumstances
Also Zeus:Gives her extreme curiosity
Why would Zeus give her the box and then give her curiosity
Given curiosity and a sealed box telling her not to open. ?
False GOD'S, turn away from this wicked story and follow the ways of the lord. ?
I thought the box was screwed
Baby pandora look like that kid in shimmer and shine
Pandora opens box
"Look honey! Its a box of evils!"
Zeus: Gives Pandora Curiosity
Also Zeus: Gives a Box that should not be opened.
Absolute MadLad.
This sounds to me like Pandora is eve and Ephimetheus is Adam.
Overly sarcastic productions anyone?
Wow good job Zeus, making a curious girl have a box no won can open.
The SCP Foundation in a nutshell.
Inside the box is Rihanna's next album
I think I am Pandora
Just……. don’t open
Can you do a video about hera ?
Also She was manufactured and gifted to Epimetheus (name means aftethought), and Prometheus (name means forethought) told him not to accept anything from Zeus. But it is only after Epimetheus is married to her he realizes who she is.
When everything is over, when the worst has happened, there's still one thing left in Pandora's Box: hope. (poi)
pandora's JAR!!!
It's like the same with Eve and the forbidden fruit.
Dunno why zeus would make her curious then give her a damned box
Anyone came here because of Escape the Night?
Zeus's is kinda a bad person
Request : The Myth if Ijo – the egg that never hatches
I like how zues " Gifts" are a box not to be opened, and the curiosity of a million cats.
Same last name do I know you ? ?
