Iseult Gillespie: The myth of Pandora's box (2019x6)

: 15, 2019

Pandora was the first mortal woman, breathed into being by Hephaestus, god of fire. The gods gave her gifts of language, craftsmanship and emotion. From Zeus she received two gifts: the trait of curiosity and a heavy box screwed tightly shut -- never to be opened. But what treasure could never be seen by human eyes, and why was it in her care? Iseult Gillespie explores the mystery of Pandora's box. [Directed by Silvia Prietov, narrated by Christina Greer, music by Stephen LaRosa].
