Zeus gathered all good things into a jar, sealed it with a lid, and left it in a man’s keeping. But the man, unable to restrain his curiosity and eager to know what was inside, lifted the lid and let them escape to the homes of the gods, where they flew, fleeing far above the earth. Hope alone remained, trapped when the lid was put back on. And so Hope alone stays with humankind, promising to bestow each of the good things that have fled from us.

Izvirnik

Ζεὺς ἐν πίθῳ τὰ χρηστὰ πάντα συλλέξας ἔθηκεν αὐτὸν πωμάσας παρʼ ἀνθρώπῳ. ὁ δʼ ἀκρατὴς ἄνθρωπος εἰδέναι σπεύδων, τί ποτʼ ἦν ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ τὸ πῶμα κινήσας, διῆκʼ ἀπελθεῖν αὐτὰ πρὸς θεῶν οἴκους, κἀκεῖ πέτεσθαι τῆς τε γῆς ἄνω φεύγειν. μόνη δʼ ἔμεινεν Ἐλπὶς, ἣν κατειλήφει τεθὲν τὸ πῶμα. τοιγὰρ Ἐλπὶς ἀνθρώποις μόνη σύνεστι, τῶν πεφευγότων ἡμιᾶς ἀγαθῶν ἕκαστον ἐγγυωμένη δώσειν.
