↳ Icarus
          
          King Minos commissioned Daedalus, the great inventor said to have been taught by Athena herself, and his son Icarus to create a great labyrinth to trap the great beast Minotaur. After finishing, the King trapped Daedalus and his son in their creation to prevent the labyrinth to be discovered.
          
          Together the stayed trapped, until Daedalus came up with an idea. To create their escape, the pair collected feathers from birds and glued them together with wax, thus making four large wings.
          
          They tied the wings to each shoulder and flew away from the island of Crete. Daedalus warned Icarus to not fly to close to the sun because the sun would melt the wax. 
          
          After passing the island Delos, Icarus grew more excited and began to fly higher. The hot rays of sunlight began to warm the wax and Icarus,  forgetting his fathers warnings, flew higher and higher until the sunlight melted the wax causing Icarus to fall into the deep sea and drown. 
          
          Daedalus named the area where his son had fallen, Icaria, in his memory.

↳ Persephone and Hades
          
          Persephone, the daughter of Demeter and Zeus, was as beautiful as the first of spring and when Hades, god of the Underworld saw her, he fell in love immediately. 
          
          One day, whilst gathering flowers, the earth opened up and upon his golden chariot, Hades snatched her away to the Underworld. Demeter looked for her daughter, before the sun took pity on the goddess and told her what had happened. Demeter, furious, demanded to Zeus that Persephone be returned or she would never let the earth bloom again.
          
          Before Hades returned the lovely Persephone, he forced her to eat six pomegranate seeds, knowing that once you eat food of the Underworld, you can never return. Persephone was returned to her mother, and Zeus proposed a compromise. For every seed that Persephone ate, she would spend a month with Hades.
          
          Thus Persephone would travel to the Underworld every six month during which Demeter would mourn and the earth would mourn with her. But when she returned, Demeter and the earth would bloom brightly.

↳ Three Sister of Fate
          
          Three sisters weave the fabric of fate, for both mortals and gods. Neither mortal nor god has the power to influence the judgement or actions of the three sisters. 
          
          Clotho, the youngest, spins the thread of life itself. She is the very origin, the creation of life and her thread is spun at the very birth of a person.
          
          Lachesis, the middle sister, is the one that allocates the fate of one's life. She determines the length and nature of one's life and all that they will accomplish. 
          
          Atropos is that last sister. She is the cutter of thread and with her shears she determines when and how someone will die.

↳  Pandora's Box
          
          Prometheus and his brother, Epimetheus pledged loyalty to Zeus. Zeus rewarded the brothers for their loyalty by giving them the job of creating the first creatures to roam the earth. Epimetheus formed animals and gave each a special skill and a form of protection. 
          
          Prometheus took his time molding man,  but was left with no form of protection because of his brother. Prometheus asked Zeus if man could have heaven's fire but Zeus refused, fire was only for the gods.
          
          Prometheus ignored Zeus and gave man fire anyway.  His action was punished by chaining him onto a mountain to have his liver eaten by an eagle for all eternity. 
          
          But Zeus also wanted to punish man for accepting the fire. To do so, Zeus created Pandora. She was molded to be as beautiful as the goddess Aphrodite and received many gifts from the gods such as: wisdom, grace, kindness, peace, generosity and health.
          
          Zeus gave Pandora to Epimetheus to take as his wife. To which he excepted right away. As a wedding gift, Zeus gave Pandora a box and warned her to never open it. Pandora, filled with curiosity ignored the god's warnings and opened it.
          
          Horrible things flew from the box: greed, envy, hatred, pain, disease, hunger, poverty, war and death. All of man's miseries had been let out into the world. Pandora closed the lid quickly, the last emotion, hope, left inside the box. Ever since, mortals have held onto the hope in the box in order to survive the wickedness that Pandora let escape.
