Pandora's box is an artefact in Greek mythology connected with the myth of Pandora in Hesiod's c. 700 B.C. poem Works and Days. [1] Hesiod related that curiosity led her to open a container left in the care of her husband, thus releasing curses upon mankind.
The Pandora myth first appeared in lines 560–612 of Hesiod's poem in epic meter, the Theogony (c. 8th–7th centuries BCE), without ever giving the woman a name. After humans received the stolen gift of fire from Prometheus, an angry Zeus decides to give humanity a punishing gift to compensate for the boon they had been given.
Elpis was the remaining item enclosed in Pandora's box (or jar), the best known form of the myth found in Hesiod’s Works and Days. [1] There Hesiod expands upon the misery inflicted on mankind through the curiosity of Pandora.
In the poem, Hesiod also offers his brother extensive moralizing advice on how he should live his life. Works and Days is perhaps best known for its two mythological aetiologies for the toil and pain that define the human condition —the story of Prometheus and Pandora , and the so-called Myth of Five Ages .
