Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
In Greek myth, Pandora is not only a character. She is the first woman, shaped by the gods as a trap. Zeus wanted to punish the humans who had received fire from Prometheus.
Pandora arrived carrying a jar. When she opened it, she released the evils that ended human carelessness. One puzzling thing stayed at the bottom: hope. This is how the phrase “opening Pandora's box” was born.
