Now what’s going on for Toontown Offline this October? Let’s get into that.īefore we talk about what’s coming to Toontown Offline this October, there’s a little bit of backstory to be told first. Personally, this is one of my favorite months all year.
The event of their release marks the end of the trouble-free Golden Age of Man, and the beginning of the Silver Age, the second of the five Ages of Man.Come one, come all, for the latest Toontown Offline blog post! This month’s guest? Why, it’s now the month of OCTOBER! The month of everything spooky, where leaves begin to fall and things start to turn cold. That is why Hope is the last thing that dies in man: even though deceitful from time to time, it is the only consolation humans have for all the troubles Pandora let loose on the world.
Shocked by what had happened, she quickly tried to put the lid back, managing to merely trap Hope inside it. One day – out of curiosity and not out of malice – Pandora lifted the lid of the jar, thus instantaneously releasing all evils and diseases into the world. With the jar in hand, Pandora was given in marriage to Epimetheus, Prometheus' brother, who accepted the divine gift despite his brother's warnings to never take a gift from Olympian Zeus. So, the gods also bequeathed her with numerous other gifts – plagues and evils to men who eat bread – which they packed neatly in a beautiful jar, her supposed dowry. Now, it seems that the “sheer guile” of Pandora wasn’t enough of a punishment for mankind. The 12 Olympian Gods The Jar of Pandora (“Pandora’s Box”) Of her, writes Hesiod “is the deadly race and tribe of women who live amongst mortal men to their great trouble, no helpmeets in hateful poverty, but only in wealth.” It was a masterwork for the ages this being, so beautiful and devious at the same time that wonder took hold of the deathless gods themselves! They called it Pandora, meaning the “All-Endowed,” because each of the gods who dwell on Olympus gave it some kind of a gift. Finally, Hermes put in it the voice of humankind and, at the will of Zeus, contrived within this voice many lies and crafty words. The Graces and Peitho (Persuasion) gifted the being with golden necklaces, and the rich-haired Horae placed a flowery garland upon its head. Then, Aphrodite joined in, adding some elegance and longing to the mix. He mixed some earth with water and fashioned from the mixture “a sweet, lovely, maiden-shape, like to the immortal goddesses in face.” Athena dressed this new being in a beautiful silvery gown, and taught it needlework and weaving. Hephaestus threw himself to work almost instantly. The Balancing GiftĪfter Prometheus stole the fire from Olympus and brought it back to earth in a fennel stack, the angered Zeus decided to give humans something which would balance this new acquisition, “an evil thing for men as the price of fire.” So, he asked Hephaestus to create a creature endowed with numerous beguiling and seducing gifts which would plague humanity from then on. Pandora, the first woman, was created by Zeus to neutralize the blessing of fire, which had been stolen by Prometheus from Olympus.
