historicalhysterical: In Greek myth, Pandora was the first woman, created by Zeus to punish men after Prometheus had given them fire. Pandora, whose name in Greek means “all gifts,” carried a box that she was not allowed to open, as it contained the evils and diseases previously unknown to mankind. Unable to resist her curiosity, however, she did open the jar, and these disasters escaped, bringing an end to the legendary Golden Age. Only Hope remained in the jar as a consolation for mortals.
