Greek Myths: Pandora's Box, Icarus, Sisyphus and Danaïdes | Sleepy Mythology Stories

In this soft-spoken bedtime story, I tell you about four Greek myths: · Pandora and her jar (or box), which according to Hesiod contained countless plagues that she let escape, providing a backstory for the existence of suffering in human life. This myth works as a "theodicy" (a backstory or an argument that explains why evil is part of the human condition when God(s) would have the power to avoid it). It is also connected to the biblical character of Eve, and scratching the surface by looking at different versions of this myth reveals a more ambivalent figure. · The tragedy of the Danaïdes, daughters of King Danaus condemned to a futile task forever for the murders of their husbands. · Sisyphus, the king of Corinth, who was sentenced to another eternity of useless work for defying Zeus and cheating death. He was punished for his hubris: the overconfidence that made him lose touch with the reality of his condition. · Icarus, the young man who flew too close to the sun and fell, is another example of hubris.
