Pandora was the very first woman, formed out of clay by the gods. The Titan Prometheus had originally been assigned with the task of creating man. He stole the secret fire in a giant fennel-stalk and restored it to mankind. Zeus was angered, and commanded Hephaistos and the other gods to create a woman, Pandora, and endow her with the beauty and cunning. He then delivered her to Epimetheus, the foolish younger brother of Prometheus, for a bride. When he had received her into his house, Pandora opened the pithos which Zeus had given her as a wedding present, and released the swarm of evil spirits trapped within. They would ever afterwards plague mankind. Only Elpis (Hope) remained behind, a single blessing to succor mankind in their suffering.
 
So the box is actually a jar. Stupid mortals ;)

The couple married and settled in Corinth, where they raised several children. Their happy days ended when Creon, the king of Corinth, offered Jason his daughter Glauce in marriage. Anxious to please the king, Jason abandoned Medea and prepared to marry Glauce. Medea took her revenge by sending Glauce a poisoned wedding gown that burned her alive. By some accounts, before fleeing to Athens, she also killed the children she had borne to Jason.

Hyacinth was a beautiful young man from Sparta, beloved and admired by both the God Apollo and Zephyros, the West Wind. But Hyacinth chose the radiant Apollo and Zephyros grew jealous. One day, as Apollo and his lover were playing, the Wind blew Apollo's discus of course, so as to injure and kill Hyacinth. Overcome by grief and guilt, Apollo did not allow Hades claim his soul, but out of his spilled blood he grew a beautiful flower– the Hyacinthus.

I've always loved this book, especially when I was little. Even though I did not understand everything. My favourite is the fox and the drunkard - because everyone needs a person he can trust in his live and because you have to face your problems not try to forget them.

Haha, we first read it in school and then watched the movie and we were like: Look, it's Umbridge, Trelawney, Lockhart, Neo and Dr. Wilson!
 
The play was actually quite good and funny!
