n Greek myth, Pandora was a woman fashioned out of the earth by a Greek God at the request of Zeus. Pandora was bestowed with powerful gifts and attributes — her name means “all-giving” or “all gifted.” She brought with her a jar (later incorrectly translated as a “box”) that contained “countless plagues,” i.e., all types of evil and misery. Pandora opened the jar, and the contents scattered, leaving the earth and sea “full of evils.”
