  Pandora 1, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
Pandora 1, the first woman, was so called because each of the OLYMPIANS gave a gift to make her complete.
However, it is also said that Pandora 1 was not a curse sent from heaven, but that she, endowed with all kinds of gifts, was given by the gods to men because they wished to show all mortals that they could do even better than Prometheus 1, who had given them fire.
Pandora 2 is a daughter of Deucalion 1 and Pyrrha 1.

 Pandora
In Greek mythology, Pandora ("all gifts") was the first woman, fashioned by Zeus as part of his punishment of mankind for having stolen the secret of fire.
Zeus is enraged and has Pandora made as a poisoned gift for man. Pandora is given several traits from the different gods: Hephaestus gives her the gift of life; Aphrodite gives her beauty; Hermes gives her persuasion; and Apollo gives her musical talent.
However, if Pandora is the jar, (and it was common in history to have jars with the image of women on them) then the hope that resides within her "under the lip" is the hope inherent in regeneration.

In Greek mythology, Epimetheus ("hindsight", literally "hind-thought") was the brother of Prometheus ("foresight", literally "fore-thought"), a pair of Titans who "acted as representatives of mankind" (Kerenyi 1951, p 207).
As further punishment, Zeus created Pandora, the first woman, for Epimetheus, knowing that he would fall in love with her despite the warnings of his brother, the embodiment of foresight, who told him never to accept a gift from the Olympian gods, with whom the primordial Titans, sprung from Mother Earth, were ever at odds.

Pandora, who prided herself specially on her deft fingers, felt sure she could unfasten it, and reasoning that it would not be indiscreet to untie it if she did not raise the lid, she set to work.
It was well for Pandora that she opened the box a second time, for the gods, with a sudden impulse of compassion, had concealed among the evil spirits one kindly creature, Hope, whose mission was to heal the wounds inflicted by her fellow prisoners.
According to another version, Pandora was sent down to man, bearing a vase, in which the evil spirits were imprisoned, and on the way, seized by a fit of curiosity, raised the cover, and allowed them all to escape.

But here and there, Pandora once or twice thought that she saw a face not so lovely, or something or other which stole the beauty out of all the rest.
But Pandora was certain that there was something very beautiful and valuable in the box, and therefore she felt just as anxious to take a peep as any little girl would have felt.
But by Pandora's lifting the lid of that miserable box, and by the fault of Epimetheus, too, in not preventing her, these Troubles have gained a foothold among us, and do not seem likely to be driven away in a hurry.
