Advice to Pandora

Yet another intelligently fun non-fiction piece from Lisa K. Buchanan - excerpted here from Meridian 24:

Pandora Seeks Advice Online

Dear Pandora,
My vote: Have your husband open it.
~Eve

Panny Love,
Why didn't I think of that?
~Epimetheus

Sweet Pandora,
It's like I told Eve. You will not die. Do you have that straight? Hear me loud and clear. You will not die.
Open it.
~The Serpent

Pick up a copy
to read the rest of advice from other notables: Bluebeard, Plato, Francis Bacon, Snow White, Aphrodite, Zeus, and many more - often with exchanges to one another, and including some "real life" comments by equally archetypal figures from Buchanan's own life.
