Pandora's Box
1. What was "foreboding"? How would it have changed our society, according to Greek myths?

is hermes good or bad
i think hermes is a little of both. he seems to be good and he means well but he manipulates to get what he wants which is not always a good thing. he stool cows from apollo. he lied to apollo and told him that he did not know they where his cows even though the crows told him who the cows belonged to. he manipulates apollo into giving up his golden staff for a musical instrument. other then that he is good. he is modest and ends up being very helpful to his father. he is a good person but he does act bad to get what he wants.

myths question 2 Hubris
i have been guilty of hubris several times n my life this is an example of one. when i was six i wanted the cookies from the top shelf of the cabinet. I was not tall enough to reach them, but i did not want to ask for help so i tried to get them myself. I climbed up on the counter an started reaching for the cookies. My mom came in and asked what i was doing and i freaked out and fell. I did not get that hurt but i did get a bruise. My mom said i should of asked her. i did not understand my limitations so i failed at my task.
