The most common debate here is whether hope is a gift...or a curse (and that it's a jar, not a box - I know - watch the video) want to hear my opinion? Check it out on me Discord server here: 👉 discord.gg/DfjC2Y7BwD

It's a trick. Give someone a box, tell them to never open it. Same as placing two people in a field full of fruit trees, telling them that they can eat fruit from all but this one. Obviously, the box will be opened, the fruit will be eaten. Human psychology 101, tell people "NOT" to do, what you want them to do.

Without suffering there is no need for hope.

I love your storytelling and art. Thanks for making these videos!

I like this version of the story of Pandora's Box.

i once read a version of the myth that gave another reason for there being "hope" in the jar, and it is that is "false hope"; so it was maybe the worst evil the gods could give a lie that makes you think that there is some reason to continue when there is none. So uou continue to suffer hoping someday things would be better but it will never be better.

The art in this video is amazing!

Your storytelling is extraordinary. Keep up the great work!

The socks that get lost after laundry!!! 😂😂 Good video!!!

Sometimes we always have to learn the hard way

I love your narration. I look forward to more of your content!

I enjoyed this so much I gave it a thumbs up, subscribed and fed the LGO rhythm❤❤😊

What's in the box? What's in the box? Come on, man. WHAT'S IN THE BOX?

"Looking at the cake is like looking at the future, until you've tasted it what do you really know? And then, of course, it's too late."

As I listened to this the comparison of Eve came to mind.

Great video and great channel. I've subscribed and im sure alot more will too! Thank you.

Wait- does it really count as a cautionary tale against undue curiosity if Pandora was set up on purpose to fail? She was kinda just made out of clay- zapped into existence, and Zues set her up to prove a point to other people. I dont understand why the focus of the story is Pndora not keeping the lid on when the game was SO rigged, and she didn't even know she was playing 😂

Subscribed! 🧿🧿🧿 Hope you make more! 🧿🧿🧿

Metis zeus'first wife gave the idea of hope to Zeus as she is practically inside her head after he ate her otherwise Zeus is too much egoistic and self center to do something for mankind

So basically pandora’s story is the story of eve

Nice video, nicely explained and easily understandable 👍 what is the music in the background when the story of Hope escaping the box is told?

Great presentation. Thank you! "I can resist anything but temptation" --Pandora

Way I heard it, it was reversed: Prometheus decided to prank Zeus by screwing up his selection of sacrifice, then when Zeus retaliated by taking the fire that Man already had away, he stole it back. Then Zeus punished him for the theft, not the prank. Also, from what I understand the "curiosity" part is at best a regional variation, if not a later addition. Hesiod's first description of Pandora had her and women in general as the core curse: charming men, making them love her, acting like an ally when times were good, then quickly abandoning them with nothing when times were bad and leaving them with no one at the end. He admitted that some men found good brides, but only rarely. His next version was the first mention of the jar, and there was no mention of curiosity or of her being given it as a wedding gift. She just had it with her when she arrived, and the moment Epimetheus accepted her as a gift she immediately dumped out the contents. BTW, I'd also heard that "hope" wasn't really seen as a good thing back then. Like, it was seen more as a foolhardy self-deception, so while the world was filled with horror, men would be unable to let go of this idiotic false hope that things will get better. And sure enough, it wasn't long after that that Zeus destroyed that particular age of man and made a new one. I believe that was the golden age, the happiest age, though it might have been the silver age that was killed for their lack of proper reverence. Regardless, no, Zeus was not some merciful deity that "didn't really want to destroy mankind" and gave them hope to keep them going, he was an arrogant SOB who destroyed the human race anytime they displeased him. Kind of fitting for a god who would rape woman after woman, including several of his own granddaughters. Last, I think it's interesting to note the other names and their meaning: Prometheus means "foresight", indicative of his ability to see mankind's potential and try to help them as well as his warnings not to accept anything the Olympians offered, while Epimetheus means "hindsight", indicating his inability to see any sort of dangers or really notice any potential consequences of any action, instead only able to mourn afterward from knowledge of just how much his actions screwed things up.

So glad I found this channel :D and poor Pandora, blamed for all the world's misery when every gamer knows, if there's a mysterious box (jar) you gotsa open it!

The storys intent is that all glory comes through suffering. That you do not need MORE, you need to be satisfied with what you honestly earn.. When want outweighs need, all hope is lost and darkness spreads throughout the soul.

Great metaphor..

Thankyou

Theirs another story that Pandora closed the box and saved hope from excapeing. Zeus wasn't messing about that day. So in a way. Pandora saved humans most humans or some from pain . 👽👍

Hope wasn't any sort of mercy. Hope was the Curse. All evil happens to you from the outside. But Hope is the Evil that gets you from Inside. Ancient Greeks didn't beleive Hope was a good or posative thing. Hope lead to resentments, resentments lead to despair, despair leads to inaction, inaction lead to death. Cultures Outside the Greek Cultures interpreted Hope by their own societal norms, and this interpretation is what is spread today.

Hope is the cruelest of all evils released from that box

hope springs eternal !

I had a thought that compared Schrödinger's cat (he put the cat in the box and wondered if it was dead or alive) and Pandora's box and how both boxes contained unlimited possibilities until opened. Maybe the ancients weren't so ignorant as we thought and it is our flawed outlook regarding their understanding of the world that is flawed.

Curiosity made Pandora open the box/jar, and because of her disobedience for doing so, she unleashed the 7 deadly sins . Hope is what we need to get live on

Hope 🙏🏻💜

Humans need the bitter and the sweet Yin and Yang ☯️ there has to be a balance between Good and Evil Love ❤️ and Sorrow ☹️ that is Life in a Nutshell.

True fact: Pandora had nothing inside the box, but inside the amphora jar... She had the hope at last.

❤️‍🔥

Great video ! Thànks.

One could argue that hope was the most harmful entity released from the box

Gwyneth Paltrow's head and hope are kind of the same thing.

I think it’s all Zeus’s fault. He wouldn’t have ordered pandora be made with a passion for the curious. He knew what he was doing by giving the box as a gift, otherwise the thing would have stayed shut and there would be no story. Also people being on their own pain thru their choices. 5 good decisions in a row can undo allot of former turmoils

Hope faith courage powerful that's what I grasp for strongly with in me spirituality💯🔥🙏🙏

I'll take the life without suffering, thanks. Without suffering, I wouldn't have much use for hope.

HOPE

It is true that hope is a fire. In truth, three things remain: faith, hope, and love. How do we strengthen them? To strengthen hope, keep good secrets. As Prometheus did when he presented the pile of bones to Zeus and reserved the pile of good food for the humans, hope is strengthened by boasting in one’s weaknesses in order to hide one’s good deeds or strengths. This practice of keeping good secrets is called virtue.

Zeus plays the long game of revenge 😂, but if I learned anything from my various revengeful games of Mario party it’s that revenge only hurts the seeker in the end.

So it should be Pandora's jar instead. But what if the jar was accidentally dropped and broke? Being that a jar is more vulnerable than a box. I guess that would alter the metafoor of the story. 😌🤔

Are you all ready? I'm going to tell everybody what is really inside Pandora's Box!!!!!!!

"I knew a girl called Pandora..... Never got to see her box though"

And there you have it. The Greece version of Adam and Eve.

They have never really shown all the evils being unleashed in cinematic form before 🤔

Why was Hope in the box with every evil known? That’s the part that requires deep thought.

I just subbed btw MoM

another version is that Zeus put hope on the box with the intent to torcher humans because he hated the so much...

Or maybe Hesiod's (750-650 BC) Pandora and the jar/box plagiarized Moses' (2500-2000 BC) Eve and the apple narrative written into the Torah (by 1000 BC). It's always questionable to predate ancient Greek writings before the Hebrews' earliest Scriptures.

What was really inside Pandora’s box🤔🤔🤔🤔 ✋✋✋✋✋ Shroedinger’s Cat💯

The narrator sounds like the old man from "Storytime", in the video game called "Dreamfall", and "Dreamfall Chapters".

I don't know about Pandoras Box, but I can tell you I've seen the Crack of Dawn.

Listen to this shit while being high is wild.

Just goes to show, that no mater what pantheon, It has always been the woman that cursed humanity.

If we lived in a world with No suffering? Why would we need hope? Duh!

So basically Prometheus taught us how rub two sticks together? 😂

Why didn't Zeus put himself in the box? None of you see what he did as evil? We really have to sit here debating whether or not suffering is cooler than having no hope?

Every form of suffering someone somewhere is making money from it , so that box contained all the ills of the earth , and who had control of that box before Pandora became inquisitive

It shows how one woman can wreak everything so you have to watch them close

1. How did that silly bone trick work on Zeus? Is he a dog? 2. Why say the box was actually a jar and then spend the rest of the video referring to it as a box? 3. Wtf Hermes... 4. Pandora was set TF up

This sounds like something similar to a WMD

Subbed .....

If you had a life without suffering then you wouldn't need hope. It probably would be a better life. To analogise it's like the difference between living in the UK and living in the US - if they get sick they have to hope their insurance covers it whereas we have the NHS and as long as the medicine isn't experimental or hyper expensive we don't have to worry. They also have to hope they don't get shot whereas there are so few guns in the UK firearms deaths are barely in double digits, we don't have to hope for it. I know which life I prefer.

Hope

What Was Really Inside Pandora's Box my cookies

I am servant of the sacred fire

Thought was in the box, this is the curse of humanity, that people believe they create them.

Artificial intelligence. We know it represents risk, and hope, but we continue to chip away at the box ~ I'm curious about this Hope. it wasn't Hope Hicks, was it?

Well if I hadn't had the challenges and setbacks I have I also wouldn't have had the opportunity to grow.

Prometheus sounds like a bro. Zeus did both him and Pandora dirty!

If there was no suffering, what need of hope?

Greek mythology was bonkers wasnt it?? Anybody know if Prometheus is still in the Caucasus? 😎

Unfortunately, hope is the reason I suffer

Eve wasn’t the first woman… What about Lilith??

Samantha’s cousin Serena.

Chaos was in the box

The moral is never trust a god. All gods are schemers.

#DisneyDiva I always think about jewelry

A yellow butterfly

Peace on earth was all it said

Not to be that guy, but… how can she open the box with hope in her heart if hope was in the box…

Hope is the worst one. You can't have "hell" (as in eternal torture) without hope. You can get used to pain n suffering, accepting that reality, but hope , hope changes everything, you don't adapt you follow hope instead...then hope is demolished & the endless cycle of suffering continues. Sorry to bring it down, but that's your experience right now, welcome my friend, guess that near miss wasn't a miss, n I'd thought I was good too. OH WELL, at least now you know the secret.

I would guess inside Pandoras Box was a uterus.

Pandora is the box.

Ummm, I think past wars have thought and pushed humanity to learn how to heal the body,mind, and spirt.

There never was a "box" there was a womb..she opened it to a serpent.

I'd like to believe that the "evils" in the box were actually the 7 deadly sins

What was the actual artifact? A jar or a box? 🤔

Pandora, a perfect name for a AI company.

Hard to read that question without hearing a very specific, plaintive voice.

Eee uuurrr - the box

1st issue , it was a vase not a box

Hear me out Pandora's box reminds me of the briefcase and pulp fiction when Samuel l Jackson came into the apartment and John Travolta opened it up and Samuel Jackson said hey do we have it yeah we definitely have it supposedly that was supposed to be Marcel Wallace's soul so that's what I look at it as Pandora's box The briefcase from pulp fiction some people might not agree with me that's fine I'm fine with that

I knew a girl named pandora.never got to see here box
