Pandora, the Beautiful Evil & the Misogyny of Her "Curiosity"
Podcast: Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology RetoldPublished On: Tue Jun 29 2021
Description: Today the story of Pandora's Box barely resembles the ancient story of a woman and a jar. It's been mistranslated, misunderstood, and misrepresented beyond comprehension. When a modern version becomes more misogynist than Hesiod talking Pandora, you know it's gone much too far.CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.Sources: Theoi.com; Hesiod's Works and Days (translation on Theoi and one by M.L. West); the problematic descriptions of Pandora found here.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions. Hosted on Acast.
