Novella three - Saturn's moon, Pandora and the story of how she became the first woman. Second edition.
Zeus, king of the Greek God's, commissioned his son Hephaestus to craft the first human woman. Aided by Athena, he carefully researched the perfect form and then moulded her from clay He then painted and glazed her into the perfect woman. After being fired in his kiln, she was given the breath of life by the wind god Zephyr. She was named Pandora, being the bearer of the gifts bequeathed to her by the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus. Her main purpose for humanity was to become the role model for all future human women. Zeus then commanded that she be properly trained so that she can navigate life's complexities, but her tutors, Herme's and Aphrodite, do too good a job with her, and she quickly became too powerful for a normal human life. She is honoured at a civic function and introduced to the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus. She presented with numerous gifts, jewellery, and words of wisdom that she keeps in a clay jar situated in a wooden box. Hera is cautious about Pandora and worries about her husband's intentions for this female. Zeus himself became disillusioned with her, and so he decided that she should be married off to a minor god, so that she'll do no harm to herself, or to others.Pandora's story is so significant that I have included it in this series of novellas. Pandora is not a constellation, but she is honoured as one of Saturn's moons.
