## Resource

Catch the tailwind of inspiration in tonight’s mythology-inspired sleep story. In tonight’s story, you are a devoted sculptor – an artist and a craftsperson. You are hard at work completing a pair of sculptures for display in a Romantic garden, which you hope will become your masterpiece. The figures are Prometheus and Pandora, of Greek myth. But you are stuck on certain features; you struggle to sculpt their hands. Reflecting on the nature of craft, control, and power in mythology and art, you mold countless iterations of the sculpture’s hands before bringing the pair to life.
