Pandora is best known for, according to Greek mythology, being the first woman. She was given all sorts of virtues: intelligence, beauty and the like, but she was also given a fault: curiOSity. She was basically supposed to be Prometheus' punishment for giving mankind fire. The Gods gave her to him as a wife, along with a jar (box is a mistranslation) which they warned her never to open. Alas, Pandora's curiOSity got the better of her and she opened it, unleashing all of mankind's evils: illness, greed, death etc. She closed the jar again and left Hope inside - the only thing which helps us survive the evils she released out of curiousity.
