Pandora n First woman on earth n Hephaestus made her of water and earth, and all the gods gave her a gift or talent (Pandora = “all gifted”). n Her curiosity caused her to open the jar (or box) containing all the evils, but she closed the lid before Hope could escape.

Prometheus n A Titan who stole fire from the sun to give to mortals n Angered Zeus, who chained him to a rock where an eagle would eat his liver out daily for all of eternity. n Hercules later killed the eagle and freed Prometheus.

Europa n A mortal girl that Zeus fell for n He tricked her by taking the form of a beautiful white bull. n Zeus swept her away to Crete, where she bore him three children. n She later married the king of Crete.

Polyphemus n The most well-known cyclops due to his roll in The Odyssey n Son of Poseidon n Tricked and blinded by Odysseus

Narcissus n Many young women were in love with him, but he rejected them all. n One young woman, Echo, went to a lonely place and faded away until her sad cries were all that was left of her. n The goddess Nemesis, in anger, made Narcissus fall in love with his own reflection in the pool.

Psyche and Cupid n Aphrodite, jealous of Psyche’s beauty, sent her son Eros (Cupid) to make Psyche fall in love with an ugly man. n But Eros fell in love with her himself. n He visited her nightly, but never allowed her to see his face. n At the instigation of her sisters, Psyche sneaks in to look at him one night when he is asleep. He awakes and leaves her. n She wandered the earth in search of a lover for many years but was later reunited with Eros.

Jason n King Pelias sent Jason on a seemingly impossible quest to bring back the Golden Fleece. n Argo = ship / Argonauts = crew n With help from Medea, Jason gets the fleece. n When he abandons Medea, she kills their children, and Jason is ruined.

Olympus. n Zeus knocks him back to earth, and he wanders lonely for the rest of his days.

Chimaera n Hideous monster with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a dragon. n Terrorized Lycia until Bellerophon and Pegasus killed it. n Any multi-faced or confusing problem is now referred to as a chimera.

Daedalus n Famous architect and inventor n Built the labyrinth for the Minotaur n He and his son Icarus are later trapped in the labyrinth, so he crafts wings for them to fly out. n Icarus flies too close to the sun, melts his wings, and drowns in the sea.
