As the age of heroes faded and monsters were cast from the world, Zeus brought a task to the wisest of titans, Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus. They were to create the animals and form man to populate the upcoming age--which also lead to the creation of Pandora (and her box of sorrows).

"“Hermes,” asked Prometheus, “has it ever occurred to you that I was out, in the world, for countless aeons before you imprisoned me here? If you’re so afraid of what I can do or say with a single sentence, what do you think happened when I had millennia to tailor everything just the way I wanted it? Things are going well for me, aren’t they? The gods have been brought low. Humans have never been doing better. Zeus thought he was so clever, giving them a box full of evils, but I selected every one of those evils eons beforehand. You know what was in that box, Hermes? _Things to make humanity stronger._ I gave them famine so they would invent agriculture. I gave them disease so they would invent medicine. I gave them war so they would smelt iron. And I left them hope, so that even in their darkest moments they would pull through and keep dreaming. Dream of putting all of those evils back in the box they came from and closing it forever. And they _will._ Do you know how many sentient species in the multiverse developed an industrial base, liberal democracy, and human rights without killing themselves or collapsing into barbarism, Hermes? The number is _one._ One sentient species. _Mine._”" -A Modern Myth ( slatestarcodex.com/2017/02/27/a-modern-myth/ ), a story which takes the phrase "god of forethought" to its logical conclusion.

@ramonaray4307 5 жыл бұрын

Back then, the greeks didn't view gods the same way that people do today. Largely because gods represented facets of life benevolent and malicious. They were just as likely to destroy you as they were to save you. Worship appeased them to keep them from doing as much, and humans were supposed to stay humble, and submissive to the gods, which is why so many stories focused on overambitious humans being punished. To the greeks they themselves were unworthy of being treated good just for goodness sake, and their gods (fickle and cruel) represented how small they felt in the face of a difficult world and tough life.

@RainbowDevourer 5 жыл бұрын

I actually think it makes sense having flawed Gods like that. The world is imperfect, harsh and full of meaningless suffering, so why should the ones who made the world be any more perfect? The Gods also represented aspects of things, so if you aspired to Wisdom you would worship Athena, but if you were heading to battle you would make a sacrifice to Ares. And you can't have the good without the bad. Besides, the whole thing of sacrificing to the Gods to appease them reeks of people thinking of themselves as hostages to the Gods. Why conceptualize the ones holding you hostage with storms, famine, the things that lurk in the night as benevolent and nice Gods?

When interpreting "Hope" as a good or bad thing, you have to remember just what hope was in translation to the relationship between Humankind and the Gods. Hope was almost the same as pride or selfishness. The belief that one can overcome even the gods. Hope that brings forth ambitiousness, the same that would see so many Greek tales fall to their own pride. Orpheus with his hope to get his wife back from Hades, only to turn around at the last second and fail. The flight of Icarus. Arachnae in her pride and hope to best even Athena. To the Greeks, it was an evil. Hope can bring about only an even greater collapse into despair in the end.

@msskylos 5 жыл бұрын

But what about Odysseus and Heracles? Didn't they hope, and got home and were redeemed, respectively?

@andrewparker3329 5 жыл бұрын

Odysseus had hope as his punishment as well as his reward. It was used like heroin, chasing the pink dragon forever, having it constantly taken away from him. And, it was other gods who had to help him along. Heracles hopes to have a decent life, but Hera screwed him over. In the end, it did indeed pan out for them, but you have to remember it was also used to HURT them along the way.

I always interpreted it as hope = complacency, or wishful thinking. As in "I hope things will get better" etc. It being locked away symbolic of people having the ability to realize they could make change for themselves and no just sitting around praying for change. It being in any way "good" just seems like a misunderstanding, due to a more modern use of the word 'hope'; for one thing it was in a box full of "evil", and for a second escaping the box is what gave humanity said evils which implies hope was something we don't have. Saying " hope was at the bottom of the box so we still have it" is completely illogical within the context of the story.

Honestly Prometheus was, hands down, one of the best mythological figures in all of human history. The ancient Titans might have let the world be full of monsters, but they were never malevolent to the race of men they lorded over. In truth some of the Titans were good figures who only helped to forward the advance of Men at the time, like Hyperion, who is the Titan of Wisdom, Knowledge, and Heavenly Light.

Prometheus never told the secret? I recall that he did eventually reveal who the woman was: Thetis. She was destined to bare a child greater than his father, which is why the gods arranged for her to marry a mortal man. And this came true; her son was Achellis. EDIT: Yes, I'm aware of the Metis prophecy, and I am not confusing the two. These are two separate prophecies which both involve a (potential) son defeating his son (aka Zeus). Apparently this was a semi-frequent concern for Zeus...

Then Prometheus revealed to Zeus that if he begotted a son with her, it would be his undoing. Thus, Zeus forbade Thetis to couple with any god.

I'm glad you guys slipping in the part about hope being one of the curses of Pandora. One of the things I learned from studying Greek Mythology at university was that the Greeks themselves tended to view the hope in the story as the last, greatest evil that beset mankind, because it allowed us to blind ourselves to reason and necessary action, and become slothful in the face of difficulty. The detail of hope being the sort of "saving grace" of Pandora is a far later addition by later cultures reinterpreting the myths through their own lenses.

As stated in a previous video, coming up will be a two-parter on Perseus and after that it will be up to the patrons on Patreon to vote for future topics (October update video). As stated in a different video (the Extra Mythology announcement video, I think), they would love to cover mythology from all across the globe. Though, you may want to narrow it down from just saying Asian mythology. Indian, Russian, and Japanese mythology all vary fairly substantially despite them all being Asian (or at least mostly Asian, depending on where you want to draw the Europe-Asia line).

Then there's Odin, who sacrificed his eye and stayed dead for NINE days (because that was the mavgical number) in order to bring humanity wisdom and writing. Funny thing is, runes were invented in what would today be denmark or Schleswig -holstein, and it is thought that the locals got the idea of writing from the Romans. Yet by the migration period, there were already myths about it. The part with the wisdom is older tho.

I always heard that Hercules persuaded him. There's something to the idea of Zeus' heart being softened by his fondness for his half-human kids. Besides the thunder part, he was also a sort of paternal deity and a god of civilization (both its good and its bad sides. ) But there were numerous often regional versions of all the stories, probably even the ancients just picked whicever version resonated most with them.

@TheFiresloth 5 жыл бұрын

Greek myths had a lot of retooling to fit the new views on thing. The gods went from hedonistic forces of nature, to tyrants, to benevolents, to flawed and complex. It really depends what the people you're talking to want to present.

Something that always bothered me about Pandora's myth : she lets evil out by opening the box, but we still have hope because she closed the box. So what do we get ? Thing that are inside the box or things that are let out of the box ?

@timothymclean 5 жыл бұрын

There are a _lot_ of versions of the myth. One I've heard that stuck with me is that we get the stuff inside the box, which was good, and Hope was the only thing she didn't spill. Another is that Hopelessness was what got trapped in the box. I'm not sure if that's because there were multiple Greek originals, or just one but it didn't make any sense to modern people.

@Qardo 5 жыл бұрын

It is because Zeus knew it would happen. As Hope is something that could conquer all evils. As it is hope that would drive a human to be better. And so when Pandora slammed the lid and locked away hope. She allowed Zeus to torment Humans. To control them. To make sure that he was the center or their believes. Zeus was a total jerk like that.

@RapidCityJM 5 жыл бұрын

Because hope is something you can hold, or lose, by own decision. You can't control death and misery, but you can choose to keep hope or be without it.

@Aravaganthus 5 жыл бұрын

She went to close the box, but because only Hope was left, she didn't.

@TamTroll 5 жыл бұрын

one interpretation i read was that instead, she was able to grab one evil and shove it back into the box. and this one evil was precognition, the ability to see the future as it would inevitably happen. With this evil locked up still, humanity would have hope by default, as we would be blissfully ignorant of our own future, rather then wallowing in grief and misery at what we knew would eventually come to pass.
