Pandora's Mask
Pandora was a beautiful mortal woman created by Zeus (who wanted to punish the humans after Prometheus stole fire for them). She married Prometheus’s brother, who took her to earth. The gods gave her many gifts, which she kept in a jar. When she opened the jar, it contained plagues and disasters, which condemned humanity to a life marred by misery. The only good thing in the jar was hope, the sole consolation for the human race.
