Laborious Love

I enjoyed the first two days of watching two features of Greek mythology that our teacher-librarian let us watch.  These were thorough presentations as if each of the two CDs covered one full semestral course in a matter of  two hours.   To the Greeks, "woman is ‘a beautiful evil thing.’ "  She’s irresistible as how Pandora was created by Zeus and endowed with many gifts from the other gods to punish the iron race that thrived well after Prometheus stole back fire to give it to them.   When they welcomed this beautiful golden maid who carried a jar with her, introduced by way of Epimetheus’ foolishness, afflictions were released to humankind.  Women, knowing only beauty and the sunshine like Pandora, are a threat to men because "they make men work only to consume the fruits of a man’s labor."  Today, while there are men who labor to sustain a wife and kids, there are also those women who are used by their men to earn for them like husbands pimping their own wives for cash; as well as, bums depending on the salary of either a male or female breadwinner.  Does anything ever surprise you?
