The Story of Pandora
In ancient Greek mythology, Pandora was the first human woman created by the gods. Zeus, king of the gods, ordered the creation of Pandora as part of a divine plot to deliver misery to humanity. Each god contributed something special to her; she was given beauty, charm, curiosity, cunning, and more.
But with a clay jar in her possession, known as "Pandora's Box," she was also given one rule: never to open it. Unfortunately, her curiosity got the better of her, unleashing havoc upon the world—each curse previously sealed inside the box escaped. Despite the plagues of sorrow emerging, hope remained behind as a small comfort to humanity.
