On the instruction of Zeus, Hephaestus had created a woman from clay, Pandora. She was part of the punishment for mankind for the fire stolen by Prometheus. Prometheus and Pandora were married. Zeus instructed Pandora to give the box to the humans and to tell them that it must not be opened under any circumstances. But immediately after their marriage, Pandora opened the box, and all vices disappeared from it. From that moment on, evil conquered the world. Before that, mankind had never known evil, trouble or disease, nor death.The only positive thing the box contained was hope. On the other hand, Nietzsche's view is that hope is in fact the greatest evil of all curses in the box. Zeus wanted man, no matter how much he was tormented by other evils, not to throw life away, but to continue to be tormented anew. To this end, he gives man hope. It is in fact the most evil of evils, because it prolongs the torment of men.
