Promethuseus (greek god) gifted humans the gift of fire, so they can live on. Zeus the sky god was angered by this. If humans had fire, they would not need the gods. So the outraged Zeus punished Promethesues and decided to punish the humans as well. Zeus and the olympian gods created the first woman, Pandora. Pandora had many gifts, but her weakness was curiosity which got her into trouble. Pandora soon got married to her husband, as a wedding gift Zeus gifted her a box and warned her NOT to open it. Out of curiosity Pandora opened the box, and disease, and evil spirits came out. Pandora shreiked and cried, but the hope also came. Zeus knew this would happen becuase it was his plan to revenge the humans for having the gift of fire, fire was only for the gods. From that day, humans started to cheat, lie, and steal.
