Hesiod reported that curiosity led her to open a container left in the care of her husband, thus releasing physical and emotional curses upon mankind. Later depictions of the story have been varied, while some literary and artistic treatments have focused more on the contents than on Pandora herself.

Pandora opened a jar left in her care containing sickness, death and m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
