THE CONTEMPORARY "PANDORA"
by Demos Sympetheros


YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT GREEK MYTHS DESCRIBE
THE REALITY OF LIFE.

THE TRILOGY OF A PROMETHEUS-PANDORA-MEDEA
MYTH FITS VERY WELL TO THE RECENT GREEK TRAGEDY.

ONCE UPON A TIME A MAN CALLED PROMETHEUS
STOLE THE FIRE FROM GODS.

THE GODS IN ORDER TO TAKE REVENGE, CREATED
A VERY ATTRACTIVE  BUT MYSTERIOUS WOMAN
CALLED PANDORA.

PANDORA WAS GIVEN  A FOXY NATURE, A
SHAMELESS MIND, AND THE ART TO SAY LIES.
THIS WOMAN BROUGHT THE DISASTERS AND SUFFERING
TO ALL HUMAN POPULATION ON EARTH.

A GOOD EXPRESSION OF A SUCH WOMAN IS MEDEA.
MEDEA KILLED HER TWO CHILDREN AND POISONED
HER RELATIVES IN ORDER TO ΤΑΚΕ REVENGE
BECAUSE OF HER HUSBAND'S INFIDELITY.

DOES THIS MYTH REMIND YOU SOMETHING?
WELL, IT REMINDS ME.

THE LEADER OF GERMANY ACTING AS A NEW PANDORA
HAS BROUGHT THE DISASTER TO THE GREEK PUBLIC,
IN ORDER TO PUNISH GREEKS (AS NEW PROMETHEUS)
WHO HAVE STOLEN SOMETHING FROM SOMEBODY.

THE QUESTION IS WHO IS THE SOMEBODY IN THIS
CASE, THAT IS WHO IS THE GODS ACCORDING TO THE
GREEK MYTH?.

THE ANSWER IS THAT THE "SOMEBODY" IN OUR CASE
HERE ARE THE LENDERS...!.

SO THE LESSON FROM THIS GREEK MYTH IS THAT 
WOMAN  ALWAYS BRINGS TROUBLE.
WOMAN IS THE MEAN OF REVENGE OF A BAD ACT.

BUT THERE IS A HAPPY END  IN THE STORY.
GODS ALONG WITH SUFFERING DONATED TO 
HUMANS "HOPE".
WELL,... GODS WERE...GODS!.




HAVE A NICE SUNDAY
