“Pandora’s box is a mythical container from Greek mythology, taken from the story of Pandora, the first woman, created by Hephaestus by order of Zeus, which contained all the evils of the world.
The story goes that Zeus, eager to take revenge on Prometheus for stealing the fire and giving it to humans, introduced his brother, Epimetheus, a woman named Pandora, whom he married. As a wedding gift, Pandora received a mysterious pithos — an oval jar, although it is currently cited and accepted as a box — with instructions not to open it under any circumstances. The gods had given Pandora a great curiosity, so she decided to open the jar to see what was inside it. When he opened it, all the evils of the world escaped from inside.
When she managed to close it, only Elpis remained, the spirit of hope, the only good that the gods had put into her.
1 From this story arose the expression “Hope is the last thing to be lost.”
2 Today, “opening a Pandora’s box” means doing an apparently small or harmless action, but which can have catastrophic consequences. “
