In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first woman on Earth, created from Earth itself. Zeus odered Hephaestus to construct her out of the Earth as a punishment to Prometheus. Prometheus had been given the task of creating man and had stolen fire from heaven. Therefore Zeus ordered the creation of Pandora and endowed her with beauty and cunning and sent her to be married to Prometheus' younger brother, Epimetheus. Zeus had given her a wedding gift, and when she arrived at Epimetheus' house, she opened the pithos (jar), releasing evil spirits that would plague mankind forever.
