I was created as a punishment to mankind. Zeus wanted to punish people because Prometheus stole the fire to give to them. I was given gifts from all the gods during my creation. I was given a box from Zeus but I was not supposed to accept any gifts from him. Then Hermes took me to Epimetheus, brother of Prometheus, to be his wife. Prometheus had also told Epimetheus not to accept anything from the Zeus, but he accepted me right away. I opened the box and all the illnesses and hardships that gods had hidden in the box started coming out. I was frightened and tried to close the box as fast as possible, closing Hope inside.

My Myth Retold
I was created as a punishment to mankind. Zeus wanted to punish people because Prometheus stole the fire to give to them. I was given gifts from all the gods during my creation. I was given a box from Zeus but I was not supposed to accept any gifts from him. Then Hermes took me to Epimetheus, brother of Prometheus, to be his wife. Prometheus had also told Epimetheus not to accept anything from the Zeus, but he accepted me right away. I opened the box and all the illnesses and hardships that gods had hidden in the box started coming out. I was frightened and tried to close the box as fast as possible, closing Hope inside.
Resolution
After I opened the box, only hope was left in it. I practically destroyed the earth and everyone on it was either killed or forced into evil ways. It was because of this that Zeus sent a huge flood to wipe out the humans. My daughter and one man were left to repopulate the world and start over, which they achieved very successfully.
Climax
The climax, when I opened my box. I opened the box and all the evils in the world fell out, but hope remained in the box.
