In Greek mythology, the first woman created is named Pandora. She is fashioned by the gods as a response to Prometheus stealing fire. Pandora is given a jar (often misrepresented as a box), containing all the evils of the world. Her curiosity leads to the jar being opened, releasing these calamities into humanity. However, she also retains hope, representing the balance between despair and resilience. Pandora’s tale serves as a foundational myth regarding the nature of human suffering and the importance of hope.
