Creative Writing: Prometheus and Pandora

John Waterhouse's depiction of Pandora (1903).

For homework, you read about "Prometheus and Pandora" (14-20) and learned how Man and Woman were created in Greco-Roman mythology.  According to the author, Pandora was given two containers: one, a jar, in which "plagues for hapless man" were kept, and the second, a box, in which marriage presents were kept (16).

Bellringer Questions:
1) What is hope?
2) Why do you think hope was the only thing that remained in both of Pandora's boxes?
