Wearing Pandora is swollen and broken [Greek mythology]

The gods of Olympus are waiting for the girl named Pandora to wake up from her coma.

Most of them wondered what would become of the maiden after Zeus adjusted the curiosities bestowed upon her.

However, there are gods who are impatient with the wait.

Ares, the god of war, wiped his face in annoyance, "It's nothing to do with me, right? This is not my seed, nor my lover, how big is her face? Why do I have to stay here and wait for her to wake up?" Come!"

"Can you be a little patient?" Apollo persuaded, "This child is related to Zeus' plan."

"Then what's the matter with me? I'm not interested in the twists and turns of human beings. I just came to see something new. Now that I've seen enough, I plan to leave." Ares said, and he didn't wait any longer. , directly waved his hands and walked away.

Zeus squinted at the disobedient son, then looked away again.

Seeing this, Hestia, the kitchen god, also bowed slightly to Zeus and retreated silently.Zeus has always respected his eldest sister who is peaceful by nature, knowing that she doesn't like to join in the fun, so he doesn't stop her.

Finally, under the eyes of the remaining ten pairs who were looking forward to or watching the show, the girl named Pandora woke up again.

She stretched out her hands and rubbed her eyes in a daze, then raised her head and looked hesitantly at the male god who was looking down at her, "Are you...Zeus?"

"Ah."

"I'm... Pandora... What's wrong with me?" The girl looked down at herself with some doubts. She moved her fingers, as if she didn't know why she was lying on this square stone platform.

"Something happened to you and you fainted. Do you remember what happened before?" Zeus asked.

"I...it seems..." The girl made a memory, and suddenly frowned in pain. She put her hands on her forehead, lowered her head, and said, "I don't remember... It seems that there is a box, yes...you give gave me a box..."

"anything else?"

"...It's gone...I can't remember...Did something else happen?" The girl raised her head again, her clear blue eyes were filled with curiosity, but her fair and beautiful face was full of innocence. .

"The gods also gave you gifts, do you remember?"

The girl hesitated even more, her heart skipped a beat, and she calmly expressed a blank expression, "...gift...gift..."

"Remember?" Zeus asked lightly.

"Ah... let me think about it... It seems that there are self-esteem and self-love, maternal love, beauty, rhythm, language..." The girl began to count with her fingers. She hesitated for a moment, and when the God King in front of her didn't speak, she continued to speak, "It seems that there are hunting, swimming, strength, cooking..."

After using all ten fingers, the girl raised her head in confusion, "It seems that something is almost there... There are no twelve..."

"Oh, yes! There are still clothes!" The girl clapped her hands excitedly, then stopped hesitantly, "There should be another one..."

Zeus squinted his eyes and looked at the girl, as if he wanted to see every expression of her clearly.After a while, his lips covered by his beard slightly raised, and said, "There is another box you saw before you passed out. Didn't you mention that box just now?"

"Yes, I remembered. It turned out that it was the last gift... It was a very beautiful box. Just looking at it made me wonder what would be inside, and I really wanted to open it." The girl briskly She replied, talking about the box, her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

The gods on the side were a little confused when they heard the conversation between the gods and one person.

The girl did look a lot more normal than before, but they didn't understand why the girl just passed out for a while, but when she woke up, she seemed to have lost a memory.

Is it...

Before they could think about it, the girl's answer, which made no secret of her curiosity, stunned them again—couldn't it still work after stripping away part of the curiosity?In this way, the planned first female human created by God still failed?

However, Zeus smiled after hearing this, and he had a kind look on his face that had not been seen for a long time. With a wave of his hand, the beautiful box before appeared in his palm again.

"This box is the last present we will give you. It is of course very charming. The box will be given to you, but you need to remember that you should never open it. Can you do it?"

The girl looked confused, she stared at the box for a moment, and asked very puzzled: "Since it is a gift and it is so beautiful, why should I never open it?"

This time, Zeus showed a faint smile again, and he said with a warm expression, meaningfully: "There are some things in this world that are not the best to get to the bottom of them. More glamorous, and this box is such a thing."

"Ah... that's right..." The girl nodded, but the curiosity hidden deep in her eyes did not diminish.

The corners of the God King's eyes were slightly bent, and he told the girl again, "You must not open it, do you understand?"

The girl nodded.

"This is not a joke, but an entrustment from God. Since you have promised never to open this box, you should never violate this oath. Keep this special gift well, can you do it?"

The girl stared fixedly at the box in front of her, the curiosity in her eyes restrained a little because of the solemnity in the words of the god king, she nodded solemnly, and agreed, "Since it is a gift from God, I Will take good care of it. I can do it."

"Very good, you are such a good boy." Zeus reached out and touched the girl's head, "Now, stretch out your hand, I will give you the last gift."

The girl stretched out her hands as she said.

This time, the exquisite and beautiful box fell firmly into the girl's palm.The girl lowered her eyelashes and stared at the shining gemstone on the box, and held it tightly in her arms.

When the gods saw the girl taking the box, they were a little worried, for fear that there would be another live opening of the box.Fortunately, the girl's behavior was steady and she didn't make any unnecessary movements, which quickly made them heave a sigh of relief.

It seems that after adjusting the curiosity, everything is going well.

"Okay, Pandora. Everything that the gods can give you has been given to you. Now, you can go to the world. Do you know what to do?" the king of gods asked the girl

The girl nodded, "I know. We must teach more humans the gift that God bestowed on Pandora, so that God's grace to mankind will spread. Pandora will carry the blessings that God bestowed on mankind to the world."

"Very good, you will definitely become a qualified envoy." After getting the answer he wanted, Zeus showed a bit of relief on his face.

Without much effort, the poisonous fruit he wanted was finally cast.

All that needs to be done now is to send her to the human world, to that stupid brother of Prometheus.Then just wait quietly, she will take root, sprout, bloom, and then bear the fruit he designed, and take those stupid humans to rot and wither.

perfect.

Zeus looked relaxed, waved to Hermes, and said to the girl, "Now, let Hermes send you to the human world, are you ready?"

The girl was a little uneasy. She looked up at the tall God King, with a bit of reluctance and dependence in her tone, "So, am I going to leave you? Will we meet again in the future?"

The delicate girl with peerless beauty had a slight melancholy on her brows, and for the first time, there was an emotion called attachment in her spotless eyes, which made gods feel a little love and pity when they saw it.

Zeus is in a good mood at the moment, and he doesn't mind his tone being softer.

"My child, God will always stand by your side. You are the treasure we created together. When you light up the things God bestows in the world, we will meet again."

"...Really? Will you keep watching me?" The girl's tone was timid, like a chick unwilling to leave the nest.

The God King did not directly answer her question, but said, "I will always be by your side."

The girl seemed to get affirmation from this answer, she finally nodded.

"Okay, Pandora!" Hermes walked over and patted the girl on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Leave it to me! I will definitely bring you there safely! There are many interesting things in the human world, isn't it?" Don't you want to go see it soon?"

"Fun things? Will there really be?" The girl asked hesitantly.

"Of course! There will be vast plains, lush forests, magnificent rivers... There will be birds singing on the branches, and there will be fish playing in the water. Those flowers that compete with each other can make people You can't count them!"

These descriptions aroused the interest of the girl, and she finally cheered up, with a bit of longing and longing in her eyes.

So, after a farewell, the girl Pandora embarked on an unknown journey with her only luggage—a cloth bag containing a magic box.Hermes, the god of communication, hugged the first human girl created by the gods by the waist, shook her feet and wings, and flew off the ground suddenly.

The girl was frightened by the sudden feeling of flying into the air and hid in Hermes' arms. While screaming, she freed a hand to tightly hold his skirt.

"Relax, good boy. It's not scary." Hermes' voice was full of joyful laughter, and Pan Duoduo could clearly feel the vibrations coming from his chest.

It seems that my ignorant and fussy behavior is to please him severely.Pan Duoduo rolled her eyes rudely relying on her entire face buried in Hermes' arms.

Don't scream, don't pretend to be afraid, isn't she going to reveal her secrets?Can a newborn lamb not be afraid of such a thing?

What's more, this "divine power" flight does not talk about any physical principles, and there is no seat belt. She has to hold a disaster box with energy comparable to a nuclear bomb in her arms, and she can use it with one hand at most. Holding him back, it was impossible to say that I didn't feel guilty at all.

However, at the moment, what Pan Duoduo feels most in his heart is the joyful feeling that the sea is wide and the sky is high and the birds are flying.

From under the nose of Zeus, her superficial acting skills are still meticulously maintained, but her heart has relaxed.

Because she knew that she had finally fooled around.

Zeus has as many minds as there are screen windows.God knows that when she was tempted by him, her heart was already sweating like a waterfall—every step was a trap, but if she made a mistake, she might be lost forever.

Looking back at the situation at that time, Zeus should have taken away the memory that gave her curiosity when he was taking out the curiosity in this body.Although she didn't know why she could still remember it clearly, but Pan Duoduo didn't have time to think about these issues, so she could only concentrate on dealing with Zeus.

Fortunately, she guessed right.

That's right, the image of God has always exalted the Holy Spirit, so how could he easily reveal that kind of viciousness like a reptile?

According to the original Pandora's story, Pandora didn't know what the gods gave her before she woke up, so naturally there would be no such problem.But in order to get rid of the curse of curiosity, she, a fake, never let go of any chance to ask questions to annoy God, which naturally created such a loophole...

Fortunately, everything is over... As long as you stay away from Mount Olympus, as long as you don't get stared at by Zeus all the time...

"what are you thinking about?"

Hermes' voice suddenly came from above her head, and Pan Duoduo suddenly returned to her senses.

"I...I...scared..." Pan Duoduo timidly muttered, her trembling fingers holding on to Hermes' lapel shrank back into his arms.

"Haha, it's not scary at all! With me here, nothing will happen to you. Raise your head and take a look at the scenery outside, it's a rare opportunity to look down from a high place like this!" Hermes noticed the girl flinched, and encouraged her.

"Are you really okay?" The thin voice was full of uncertainty.

"Of course!"

Pan Duoduo paused, and slowly poked her head out of the young god's embrace as if she had made a lot of determination.

The wind whizzed past her soft hair, and the sun's bright and warm golden color passed through the clouds, lighting up the girl's pupils in an instant.

The vast expanse of land is covered with a rich and emerald green color, and the meandering river extends to the end of the world, and every wave is filled with gold leaf scattered by the sun.The indigo-colored mountains sleep peacefully in the distance, and occasionally white birds fly by, sinking into the sea of ​​forest like fleeting stardust.

She can see the widest and most complete horizon.At the end of the sky and the earth, the layers of clouds are all rising, as if they are chasing and climbing the sun that hangs high above the top.

"Is it beautiful?" God asked her.

"Beautiful." The girl heard herself answer softly.

The world is vast, suddenly enlightened, nothing is better than this moment.
