Why are women depicted the way they are? Again, what does this say about the scoiety that created them.

In these myths, women were depicted the way they are because men were thought to be stronger and superior, perhaps. In the Greek Myths women were steriotyped as curious, therefore Pandora's Box, which might have meant that they were thought to be weak. Again, with the Greeks, women weren't created until after man. Even when they were created Zeus created a single woman to, more or less, annoy Prometheus. So, obviously, women weren't high on there list to be created, therefore not being depicted as special or something good.
