While we’re at the subject of re-interpreting ancient greek myths, has anyone made one of Pandora’s box, where all the ailments and evils in the world were already in the world while sealed in the box, and all that was really sealed away was peoples’ awareness of them, and the ability to see what causes the harm that they already do?
So by opening the box she was told to never open, poor Pandora didn’t release the evil into the world, but only made the unseen into something that could be seen? From an outsider’s perspective, the outcome looks just the same - the box was opened and now everything’s awful. But the last thing to come out of the box was hope. Now that we know what the evils are, where they are and what they do and have done, there is hope of doing something about them.
