Instead, he preferred to simply enjoy each moment. Within a week of passing sentence on Prometheus, Zeus had almost forgotten the entire incident. One morning he awoke refreshed and looked out at the world. He saw the humans below going about their business-cooking with fire and making utensils out of metal. Then he remembered that the humans did indeed have fire, and he was angered all over again. He decided that it was time to make the humans pay as well. Zeus called Hephaestus to make an unusual, beautiful _________________. He told Hephaestus to leave her head _______________ so the gods could present her with their own special gifts. Hephaestus decided to use Aphrodite, his wife, as a model for the creation. When he was done, he called the other gods to see what he had created. __________________ dressed the woman, and the ______________________ combed out her long, raven- colored hair. The Four Winds ________________ ____________ _____________ __________. Meanwhile, Zeus had been working on preparing a __________. In the put all the _________________ he could find: ___________________ __________________ ______________________ _______________ _______________ ___________________ ___________________.

He also gave her a name: ________________________, because she was filled with gifts from all the gods. When Zeus saw her, he gave her his own gift: ______________________. Next, Zeus gave Hermes instructions to take the woman to Epimetheus and tell him that she was a peace offering, intended to become the wife of Epimetheus. Zeus added, “And take this jar as my dowry.” Remember that Prometheus had warned Epimetheus NOT to take gifts from the gods, but remember, too, what his name means! Never known for his _______________________, Epimetheus reasoned that nothing so beautiful could be harmful and married her. He took her jar and hid it from her in a cupboard. Although Pandora could not carry on a conversation for very long, the two of them lived in marital bliss. However, since she was also very curious, she eventually found the locked cupboard. She asked Epimetheus about it, and he showed it to her but made her promise not to open it. Of course, as soon as her husband left her, she opened the jar. The emitted the most horrible __________________ and _________________ and then a ________________ rushed out, with black shapes and ghoulish forms. Pandora screamed and Epitheus came running. It was too late, and humans were now doomed to endure sickness, death, old age, hard work, and sorrow. However, there was one more item in the jar -buried in the bottom, almost crushed by the black forms that had been in the jar. It was ________________, and slowly it would emerge to help humans bear the miseries. In another myth, Zeus wiped out mankind with a ________________, saving only ____________________________ and his wife _______________________, who were left to repopulate the earth.
