Pandorina kutija

Deukalion je sin Prometeja i Klimene
A Prometej je brat Epimeteju, koji je bio Pandorin muž,
Dakle kada je Pandora nastala -Deukalion još nije ni postojao .
.I još nešto ..Deukalion se kasnije oženio Pirom , zaista..
Ali Pira je bila ćerka Pandore i Epimeteja.
Tako da Pira nije mogla biti Pandorina majka nikako ,
Niti Deukalion njen otac.
Pogledao sam "The Greek Myths" od R.Graves

8. Prometheus’s name, ‘forethought’, may originate in a Greek misunderstanding of
the Sanskrit word pramantha, the swastika, or fire-drill, which he had supposedly
invented, since Zeus Prometheus at Thurii was shown holding a fire-drill. Prometheus,
the Indo-European folk-hero, became confused with the Carian hero Palamedes, the
inventor or distributor of all civilized arts (under the goddess’s inspiration); and with
the Babylonian god Ea, who claimed to have created a splendid man from the blood of
Kingu (a sort of Cronus), while the Mother-goddess Aruru created an inferior man from
clay. The brothers Pramanthu and Manthu, who occur in the Bhagavata Purāna, a
Sanskrit epic, may be prototypes of Prometheus and Epimetheus (‘afterthought’); yet
Hesiod’s account of Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Pandora is not a genuine myth, but an
antifeminist fable, probably of his own invention, though based on the story of
Demophon and Phyllis (see 169. j). Pandora (‘all-giving’) was the Earth-goddess Rhea,
worshipped under that title at Athens and elsewhere (Aristophanes:Birds 971;
Philostratus: Life of Apollonius of Tyana vi. 39), whom the pessimistic Hesiod blames
for man’s mortality and all the ills which beset life, as well as for the frivolous and
unseemly behaviour of wives
. His story of the division of the bull is equally unmythical:
a comic anecdote, invented to account for Prometheus’s punishment, and for the anomaly
of presenting the gods only with the thigh-bones and fat cut from the sacrificial beast. In
Genesis the sanctity of the thigh-bones is explained by Jacob’s lameness which an angel
inflicted on him during a wrestling match. Pandora’s jar (not box) originally contained
winged souls.
