That there's bad stuff and evil in the world but man-kinds greatest and basically only weapon against it is hope.
To add to the person above, Greek Gods and Ancient Gods in general were Cruel,self adsorbed and played games. Zeus was testing her but what the Gods expected of someone was in truth really a demand, and they would kill, curse, or take something away from you if you didn't do what they wanted.
They made humans only to praise them, entertain them, and do their bidding. (Hints: that's why Prometheus was punished for giving man fire, one of the Gods greatest weapons/tools )
Hope, more or less was something the Gods did not want man-kind to have because it decreased their influence and importance on humans.
Man in turn now believed in himself. Humans would from then on strives to improve their own life's. In stead of only believing the Gods controlled everything and that with each new day they had a new chance to improve their standing and quality in life. Instead of just the Gods determining the events of destiny or someones life.
