Prometheus and Pandora

By Emily, age 9. From Greek mythology, Prometheus steals fire, and Pandora opens the box.

Pictures were made with watercolors & Sharpie markers. Adobe Photoshop and After Effects software were used to create the animation. The Puppet Tool in After Effects was used extensively.

@MsDeathangel956 The little girl who made this was, at the time, nine years old. As of this writing, that was two years ago.

great job on this vid emily exept in most stories i heard about this it was a jar not a box other than that 5/5

[mksalva]

@tish246 Okay, yeah, but in most of the retellings since the 16th century, it's been the mistranslation of the "box" instead of the jar, so when we're dealing with fourth graders, the box it is. :) Thanks for the kind words!

That Is Not What Happened Prometheus Was Chained To A Rock And His Brother Got Lonely So Zeus Gave Him Pandora So He Would Be Happy

I have heard that after she realized that only hope was in the box and that nothing bad could escape, she opened it and let hope out into the world.

This is AMAZING!

I'm training to be a teacher and I have and ICT assignment to do with making a programme to teach about Ancient Greece.

Just great work. And the narrator's voice is as much that of a pro as anyone on TV.
