Final answer:
The statement that the climax of The Story of Prometheus and Pandora's Box occurred when Mercury brought Pandora to Epimetheus is false; the true climaxes are Prometheus's punishment and Pandora opening the box.
Step-by-step explanation:
The climax of The Story of Prometheus and Pandora's Box did not occur when Mercury brought Pandora to Epimetheus. The statement is false. In Greek mythology, the climax of the story of Prometheus is considered to be when he is punished by Zeus for stealing fire and giving it to mankind, which is a separate event from the story of Pandora. Pandora's Box comes into play in a different part of the myth, where Pandora, created by the gods, is given a box (or jar) that she is told not to open. The climax in the tale of Pandora occurs when her curiosity leads her to open the box, releasing all the evils into the world, leaving only hope inside once she closes it again.
