Disney Mythology:<\/span> Pandora’s Box is a magical item featured on ABC’s Once Upon a Time<\/i>. It first appears in the seventh episode of the third season. A picture of the device can be seen here.<\/p>\n

Greco-Roman Mythology:<\/span> Pandora’s Box is based on the titular item from the Greek myth. The box has the capability to store great evil, great magical, or simply human\u00a0beings within it. Somewhat of a reverse of the ability of the original, as the original “Pandora’s box” was more like a amphora which held all the evils in the world (malice, greed, murder, etc.)\u00a0and when she opened it they fled into the world with only hope left inside.<\/p>\n

Disney Mythology:<\/span>\u00a0Bacchus is the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness, fertility, theatre and religious ecstasy.. He is a fun-loving Roman god, he is portrayed as an overweight, happily drunk man wearing a tunic and cloak, grape leaves on his head, and carrying a goblet of wine. He is friends with the fauns and centaurs, and is shown celebrating a harvest festival.<\/p>\n

Greco-Roman Mythology:<\/span> The way is portrayed is quite similar to his manner in mythology.<\/p>\n

#7. MORPHEUS or LUNA<\/p>\n

Film & Series:<\/span> Fantasia; 1934. Hercules; 1997<\/p>\n
