Greek mythology from A to Z:
[M] - Metis (Μῆτις) was one of the Titans and the first wife of Zeus. She became the goddess of wisdom, prudence and deep thought.
The thought that you exist is so divinely blissful in itself that it is ridiculous to talk about the everyday sadness of separation – a week’s, ten days’ – what does it matter? since my whole life belongs to you.
— Vladimir Nabokov, Letters to Véra
Greek mythology from A to Z:
[H] - Hecate (Ἑκάτη) is the goddess of magic and witchcraft. She was also closely associated to the spiritual world, ghosts, and the dead.
Greek mythology from A to Z:
[P] - Pandora (Πανδώρα), the first woman, was created by Zeus to neutralize the blessing of fire, which had been stolen by Prometheus from Olympus.
In Hesiod’s Works and Days, Pandora had a jar containing all manner of misery and evil. Zeus sent her to Epimetheus, who forgot the warning of his brother Prometheus and made Pandora his wife. She afterward opened the jar, from which the evils flew out over the earth. Hope alone remained inside, the lid having been shut down before she could escape.
