Fictional Character

The Resume

    The first woman on Earth, according to Greek mythology
    Molded out of earth and water (clay) by the smith god Hephaestus
    Best known for opening Pandora's Box; a large jar containing all of the world's (mankind's) evils

Why she might be annoying:

    Wasn't Eve supposed to be the first woman on Earth?
    Zeus ordered her to be created as a punishment to man; she was the 'beautiful evil' who would make men eternally miserable.
    She unleashed evil upon the entire world by opening a 'box' she had been told never to open.
    Like Eve, she took the blame for the downfall of humanity.
    Historians debate details of her story (such as who she was married to) even though she's (in all probability) fictional.
    Her less than flattering historical portrayal might've resulted from a smear campaign by anti-feminist Greek poet, Hesiod.

Why she might not be annoying:

    When she was created, she was bestowed with gifts from a multitude of Greek gods.
    Is it really fair to blame the first woman on Earth for all of the worldly evils mankind faces?
    It wasn't her fault that Prometheus angered Zeus by taking the gift of fire from the gods and sharing it with the mortals (the reason she was created).
    The one thing that didn't escape from her 'box' was hope.
    One of Saturn's moons was named after her.
    Apparently, Glenn Beck doesn't hold any grudges against her; he blames all of the evil in the world on President Barack Obama.
