PANDORA AND HER BOX CAUSE QUITE A STIR IN ERROS[LEGENDS]COLLECTION!!!

The myth of Pandora’s box is considered one of the most descriptive myths of human behavior in Greek mythology. Ancient Greeks used this myth not only to instruct themselves about the weaknesses of humans, but also to explain several misfortunes of the human race. Pandora was, according to the myth, the first woman on Earth. She was created by Gods; each one of them gave her a gift, thus, her name in Greek means “the one who bears all gifts”.Pandora was created as a punishment to the mankind; Zeus wanted to punish people because Prometheus stole the fire to give it to them. Her gifts were beautifully evil, according to Hesiod. Hephaestus created her from clay, shaping her perfectly, Aphrodite gave her femininity and Athena taught her crafts. Hermes was ordered by Zeus to teach her to be deceitful, stubborn and curious.In the God of War series,the most powerful weapon a mortal could wield, the Pandora's Box allowed even a mortal to have the power to slay a God. Kratos who faced the challenges of Pandora's Temple eventually obtains Pandora's Box however just as he does, he is killed by Ares and the box is stolen by Harpies. Kratos found himself in the cursed Underworld however unlike any other mortal, Kratos was determined to get out of Underworld which he did without much hassle. Kratos then made his way to Ares and when he finally did confront the God Of War, Kratos knocked Pandora's Box from Ares's grasp by using Zeus's Fury and immediately opened the box unleashing all of it's powers upon himself. This time the box allowed Kratos to stand toe-to-toe with Ares in both size and power. ( Wiki.com ) The myth of Pandora’s box has been fascinating people since ever, catching the imagination of countless artists, who created frescos, mosaics and sculptures depicting Pandora and the mythological elements. The myth itself though appears in many different versions; the most distinctive difference is that in some myths Hope does come out. The main purpose of the myth of Pandora though is to address the question of why evil exists in the world. Today the phrase "to open Pandora's box" means to perform an action that may seem small or innocent, but that turns out to have severe and far-reaching consequences. But for Erros, the far-ranging, and sweeping consequences have been all for the better than for some beastly trivial pursuit. He was a budding young designer who found his niche in the fashion world by taking risks and non unlike Pandora, Erros was not afraid to open all avenues of possibilities whether it may seemed trivially inconsequential or it may be sweepingly significant ~ all for his love of creation.
