TED-Ed: The myth of Pandora's box - Iseult Gillespie

The video explores the dual nature of curiosity through the myth of Pandora. Created by the gods, Pandora was gifted with curiosity and a sealed box she was forbidden to open. Her life on Earth with Epimetheus was filled with wonder, but her curiosity about the box grew. Eventually, she opened it, releasing evils into the world. However, hope remained, symbolizing the balance between curiosity's potential for both harm and enlightenment. The story prompts reflection on whether some mysteries should remain unsolved.
