It’s the final week of #legendarywomenmonth and we are capping off the art challenge with #Pandora! Pandora famously was responsible for unleashing every evil in the world, but she is a catalyst, not a cause. The story also ignores pre-existing myths of Pandora as a life-bringing goddess, but let’s keep it simple and stick to Hesiodic myth. Pandora’s creation was commissioned Zeus because Prometheus stole fire and gave it to humanity (which at the time for some reason was only male). She was meant to be a punishment. The other gods gave her gifts - beauty, charm, grace, quick wit, needlework and weaving - while Zeus gave the “gift” of a vessel filled with all evil (and hope for some reason). Pandora would open the vessel, unleashing all that bad stuff and ending the Golden Age (while taking the blame for Zeus’s actions). But what was the Golden Age? There was no death or disease, but also no industry/society and without fire humanity was subservient to the gods. So the Golden Age was a dark, cold, oppressive, and endless sausage fest. Cool. So what did Pandora give us? Birth. Pandora’s daughter Pyrrha was the first human born born without being created by the gods, and she survived the flood that Zeus sent to destroy the world and became the mother of modern humanity. So it’s really a glass half empty/full situation. Did Pandora unleash death? Or did she give us autonomy, fertility, and the opportunity to live with meaning? Thanks so much to @vale_arts_ @cladart_ @aryillustrations and @chibiomatic for hosting this awesome challenge and for putting together the character mood boards! And thanks to @promptosaurus for promoting it and getting it on my radar! #legendarywomenmonthchallenge #artchallenge #februaryartchallenge #HELLOPROMPTOSAURUS #pandoramyth #greekmythology #pandorasbox #pandoraart #mythologyart #feministart #feministicon #womeninmyth #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #digitalillustration #procreate #artistssupport_feature #artshoutout_gallery #yourartsupporter #das_4u #lovesupportartists #yeppart #tips_featur (at Waynesburg, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaSY2oMLV_v/?utm_medium=tumblr
