  Pandrosus
Pandrosus ("the all-dewy one") is a figure in Greek mythology and a daughter of Cecrops.
An alternative version of the same story is that, while Athena was away from Athens, bringing a mountain from Pallena[?] to use in the Acropolis, the sisters, minus Pandrosus again, opened the box.
Pandrosus and Hermes later had a son, Ceryx.

In disgust, she wiped off the seed with wool and threw it on the ground; and as she fled and the seed fell on the ground, Erichthonius was produced.
But the sisters of Pandrosus opened it out of curiosity, and beheld a serpent coiled about the babe; and, as some say, they were destroyed by the serpent, but according to others they were driven mad by reason of the anger of Athena and threw themselves down from the acropolis.
Pandrosus, they say, obeyed, but the other two (for they opened the chest) went mad when they saw Erichthonius, and threw themselves down the steepest part of the Acropolis.

He was a contemporary of the utterly impious Lycaon 2, who sacrificed a human baby on the altar of Zeus, and was punished for this outrage by being turned into a wolf.
When he was still a baby, she put him in a chest and committed it to Pandrosus, one of the daughters of Cecrops 1, not telling her what there was within, and forbidding her to open it.
