Упр.6 Unit 4 ГДЗ English Михеева 11 класс
Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 11 класс, Просвещение: 6. One of the legends you heard could be compared with the well-known tale of the classical Greek mythology about Pandora. Read the legend about Pandora and compare it with what you have heard. Mention these: — the main characters of the two legends; — the human vice difficult not to yield to; — the similarities and the differences of the two legends.
Pandora (meaning “all gifted”) was the first woman on Earth. The gods gave her such gifts as beauty and charm but also gave her great curiosity. Zeus [zju:s] wanted to punish man for accepting the gift of fire that Prometheus stole from heaven. So Zeus gave Pandora a box containing all the troubles and diseases that the world now knows. She was warned not to open the box, but her curiosity overcame her. Only Hope remained in the box as she quickly closed the lid again.

The legend about Pandora can be compared with the tale I heard because both stories are about a woman whose weakness causes trouble.
The main characters are Pandora in the Greek myth and the main character of the other legend, who is also tempted by something forbidden or dangerous.
The human vice that is difficult not to yield to is curiosity. Pandora could not resist opening the box, although she had been warned not to.
The similarities are that both legends show how one person’s weakness can bring misfortune, and both have a moral lesson. The difference is that the myth about Pandora explains the origin of troubles and diseases in the world, while the other legend may have a different plot and characters.
