Document Summary
What are the consequences? i. ii. iii. iv. v. There is a relation between zeus, the i (hesiod), and perses. Zeus is acting as a third party to be a judge. This strife is good, inspiring the neighbor to get up and work to be prosperous like their neighbor. Perses is not working and has no money in his savings. Imagine: a more than human 3rd party arbiter (zeus) o o o. When people no longer agree we turn to the law to settle disputes. Maybe when you get less by just means rather than by getting more obtained unjustly. Zeus as an arbiter is concerned not with what you obtain but how you obtain it. Zeus responds by constructing pandora and gives it to prometheus. She seems good, she seems like the whole package, however she has a thievish character on the inside and full of lies. Pandora opens pithos, closes the pithos, but hope stays inside.
