Pandora (Greek: π α ν δ? ρ α (also translated as Pandora) was the first woman made of clay by Hephaestus in Greek mythology, and was given to human beings as a punishment for Prometheus stealing fire.

The gods gave her a gift to make her more attractive: hephaestus, the Vulcan, made her a gorgeous golden robe; Venus, the goddess of love, gave her charm and the power to seduce men; Hermes, the messenger of the gods, taught her the skills of speaking. Each of the gods gave her a gift.

According to a white Kirix cup in the British Museum, Pandora's other name is "Anesidora", which means "She gave a gift". Her name comes from the box in her hand. The spouse is Epimetheus.

Pandora is also called Pandora box, Pandora box. Legend has it that Vulcan people created Pandora, the first woman on earth, from clay. The gods gave Pandora many gifts, including beauty, wisdom and curiosity … but one of the most dangerous gifts was a beautiful magic box.

Once this box is opened, all kinds of evil spirits who are proficient in chaotic magic will run out of it and endanger the world. Although the gods warned Pandora never to open the box, Pandora didn't listen to their advice in the end. Driven by strong curiosity, she finally opened the box.

Although she closed the box in time, the whole world was filled with all kinds of evil spirits released from the box in an instant and fell into chaos. Later, Pandora's box was used as a metaphor for a gift that brought misfortune: disaster.
