: From Wikipedia;
: In Greek mythology, Pandora (from Greek:
: Πανδώρα,
: "giver of all, all-endowed"[1])
: was the first woman.[2] As Hesiod related
: it, each god helped create her by giving her
: unique gifts. Zeus ordered Hephaestus to
: mould her out of Earth (Γαîα
: – Gaia) as part of the punishment of mankind
: for Prometheus' theft of the secret of fire,
: and all the gods joined in offering this
: "beautiful evil" seductive gifts.
: Her other name, inscribed against her figure
: on a white-ground kylix in the British
: Museum (illustration, right), is Anesidora,
: "she who sends up gifts."[3]
: According to the myth, Pandora opened a jar
: (pithos) in modern accounts referred to as
: "Pandora's box", releasing all the
: evils of mankind—

Wayne,
"And now these three remain, Faith, Hope, and Love. But the greatest of these is Love." 1 Corinthians 13:13.
Pandora's Box is a myth. And a pretty good one in my opinion. But like the one about Eve it is also misogynistic.
