A beautiful woman (all-gifted), whom Jupiter caused Vulcan
   to make out of clay in order to punish the human race, because
   Prometheus had stolen the fire from heaven. Jupiter gave Pandora a box
   containing all human ills, which, when the box was opened, escaped and
   spread over the earth. Hope alone remained in the box. Another version
   makes the box contain all the blessings of the gods, which were lost to
   men when Pandora opened it.
