The vase also illustrates a similar scene. The form used by the artist has a colossal impact on how an artist chooses to tell a story. In this case, to represent the story on the vase, the artist had to neglect numerous characters depicted in Hesiod's text. Additionally, the artist must provide the figures with distinct attributes so that the audience can recognize them. In a poem the writer is more elaborate, so the audience can portray the story more vividly. The advantages of using a painting are that the reader does not need to know the language to understand the scene and can understand the entire scene much more quickly. The limitation is that each scene cannot be elaborated enough, which may cause many characters to be forgotten from the myths. The advantages of a poem are that the scene can be described very elaborately and more characters can be incorporated into the story, while the disadvantage is that the metaphors in the poems might be convoluted and the audience needs to know the language to understand the poem.
