Pandora's Senses

"The notorious image of Pandora haunts mythology. A woman created as a disastrous gift for humanity, she binds together perpetuating dichotomies that underlie the most fundamental aspects of the Western canon: beauty and evil, body and soul, depth and superficiality, truth and lie. In this compelling study, Vered Lev Kenaan offers a radical revision of the Greek myth of the first woman by showing that Pandora embodies the very idea of the ancient literary text. Locating the myth of the first woman right at the heart of feminist interrogation of gender and textuality, Pandora's Senses shows the centrality of this iconic figure among the poetics of the cosmological and didactic epic, the Platonic dialogue, the love elegy, and the ancient novel."--book jacket.
