Prometheus is clueless as how the word box/jar came about, but admits that "Pandora's pithos" just doesn't have the same ring to it.Though most mortals refer to it as a box or jar of some sort, it was actually a pithos, a storage jar.Percy later gives it to Hestia as an offering, stating that she was the last and most important Olympian, as "hope survives best at the hearth." Hestia accepts this offer and keeps the box since then. Percy, however refuses to surrender on all of those occasions. Prometheus told Percy that Elpis must be given permission to leave, as only a 'child of man' can release her from the pithos. He tells Percy that when he is ready to surrender to Kronos, he should open it, giving up hope.Īlthough Percy puts it in the hotel's safe, it follows him around, and appears whenever he is at his weakest, tempting him to open it. At that time, only Hope was left in the jar. When Prometheus meets Percy Jackson, he gives him the pithos. Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Last Olympian Only Elpis, the spirit of hope, remained inside. When Pandora did open the jar, all the evils that now torment mankind, such as lies, murder, death, sickness, treason, and all bad spirits and ideas escaped from the jar. Percy remarked in The Last Olympian, that Pandora must have been " ADHD" like him as the curiosity was probably killing her. The main points are: Play / Pause / Next Song.

They knew he would get angry if he saw his creations being tormented, so they gave Pandora the jar and told her not to open it no matter what. A program called Pithos is available for Linux users which allows them to tap into their Pandora account and radio streaming.
It was really a punishment for Prometheus - as he took fire from the gods - and humanity, for accepting it. The pithos was originally a gift from the gods to Pandora, the first woman created, who in turn was given to Epimetheus during their wedding.
