According to Greek mythology, Pandora, the first woman to be created, introduced trouble in the lives of men. As she opened the box containing all the evils of the world, she allowed them all to escape and earned women the designation of troublesome. The curiosity and foolishness which drove Pandora to open the box were forever after viewed as typical attributes of women and supposedly justified their inferiority to men. Additionally, they came to be known as sneaky, conniving temptresses who would carelessly complicate the lives of men. While men were known for their strength, women were associated with trickery. Homer uses these themes in the Iliad and the Odyssey in order to distinguish between the two genders. While the Iliad focuses on brute strength, its companion, the Odyssey, is a poem of cunning. It is not without coincidence that this poem of cunning contains many female figures while the poem of brute strength consists mainly of men.
