In English, we had worked about Avatar movie, we have learned about it, and then we had to do a reflexion about what kind of relation ship it had with Pandora myth, here you can see my essay about it:
Epimethius and Prometheus where two brothers, they upset Zeus; the most powerful of all the gods. Humans had no fire because Zeus had taken it from them as a punishment. Prometheus knew that the blacksmith who lived in the Isle of Lemnos had always fire burning, so he went there and stolen the fire to give it to the humans. Zeus noticed about it and decided to punish the humans for being so respectful. He made a girl, who he named Pandora, from clay and sent her to Epimetheus as a gift. Prometheus told his brother not to accept any gift from Zeus but Pandora was so charming and beautiful that Epimetheus had not listened his brother and married her. Zeus sent a gift to Pandora, a box, and he made her promise she would never open it. Pandora after a long fight with herself could not hold her curiosity and opened the box, as Zeus had planned. She had released misery, death and sadness for all the humans. She closed the box as she could and Epimetheus arrived. The box was telling them to open and Epimetheus said there was nothing worst that could happen and they opened the box. It came out what was left; Hope.
In the movie ‘Avatar’ Pandora is the Land where the Na’vi live, it is a magical world and it is all connected with some kind of magic. Na’vis love the land and take care of it because they are connected to it. When the humans come they want to destroy the land to get some powerful rocks that this land have. The Na’vi fight for their land and to make humans go away. I think the connection between the Prometheus myth and Avatar movie is that humans have this irrespectful and avarice that Na’vi tribe have not. They want to get something that is not from them as Prometheus did to the Gods and they are punished because of that. The only thing is that in the myth Prometheus is a good man and in the movie humans are not, the Na’vi are the good ones.
