的色薩利之間矗立著一座高山。大霧彌漫的山頂直插云霄。山頂上，眾神們的家

園沐浴在陽光之中。宙斯作為山神和人類之父主宰著那里的一切。總的說來，宙

斯并不是一個獨裁統治者。但毫無疑問，凡事山神們都要聽從他的命令。宙斯將

男女山神12人組成一個委員會，宙斯本人則坐第一把交椅，是眾神與人類的太上

皇，也是雷電的操縱者。他旁邊是他那傲慢且嫉妒的皇后赫拉。波塞冬是大海的

統治者。哈得斯是主宰陰間的冥王，他在委員會中沒有席位。阿波羅是太陽神、

音樂和詩神。他的孿生姐妹阿耳特彌斯是月亮和狩獵女神。雅典娜是智慧女神和

洶洶的阿瑞斯是戰神。媚人的阿芙羅狄蒂是愛與美神。火神赫菲斯托斯是宙斯雷

電的創造者。以翅代步的信使海爾墨斯掌管商業與發明事務。谷物與豐收女神得

墨特爾負責管理農業，她是文明之母。以上所提到的主要天神們都假裝成凡人的

樣子，他們的美麗與魅力無可匹敵。因常受到凡人情感與愿望的感染，他們不時

地勃然大怒，妒嫉別人。他們卷入與人類世界無休止的爭斗中。在奧林波斯，他

們之間也充滿了陰謀與權力之爭。在凡人的世界里，他們經歷了敵對與挫折。他

們珍惜人間的愛與友善。這群長生不老的天神們的外表與行為完全符合人間的方

式。這就是奧林波斯山神們的本來面目。

war ，plague and sickness ，theft and violence， grief sorrow ，and all

the other evils.the human world was hence to experience these evils.only

hope stayed within the mouth of the jar and never flew out.so men always

have hope within their hearts.潘多拉偷竊天火之后，宙斯對人類的敵意與日俱增。一天，他令兒子赫菲斯托斯用泥塑一美女像，并請眾神贈予她不同的禮物。

其中，雅典娜飾之以華麗的衣裳，赫耳墨斯贈之以說謊的能力。世上的第一個女人是位迷人女郎，因為她從每位神靈那里得到了一樣對男人有害的禮物，因此宙斯稱她為潘多拉（pander：意為煽動）。宙斯決定把她作為禮物送給世間的男子。

于是信使赫耳墨斯將她帶給普羅米修斯的弟弟厄庇墨透斯。她姿容絕美，見者無不為之傾心。厄庇墨透斯興高采烈地把她迎入屋內。普羅米修斯警告過他不得接受宙斯的任何饋贈，而他已將之忘于腦后。這一對夫妻有過一段幸福的生活，但不久災難卻降臨人間。當普羅米修斯忙于教授人們生存之道的時候，他把一個桶托付給厄庇墨透斯。他警告過他的弟弟不要打開桶蓋。潘多拉好奇心強。她的丈夫不允許她看桶中之物，這使她感到十分懊惱。一天乘厄庇墨透斯出門在外，她打開桶蓋，從桶里跑出的是不和與戰爭，瘟疫與疾病，偷竊與暴力，悲哀與憂慮，以及其他一些人類從此要遭受的不幸。只有希望被關在桶口，永遠飛不出來，因此人們常常把希望藏于心中。
