In the book of Genesis, chapter 2, verses 20 - 25 we read the account of Eve being "made" from one of Adams ribs, vs. 21 - 22. Adam then, being first formed vs. 7, could not have been born of Eve.

If you insist that there must be a mother, then Adam was the mother of Eve.

Eve and Pandora are two characters from two different mythologies.

Pandora is the woman who was given a box containing the world's evil by Zeus, the supreme ruler of the heaven's. This stems from Greek mythology.

Eve on the other hand, is Adam's wife, according to the Hebrew Bible. She was made using one of his ribs and they became spouses. Thus, this is Jewish mythology.

They both essentially release the world's evils.

When Pandora opens the box, she releases sickness, death, hate, cold, and other horrors into the world. She was told not to, but her curiosity as to what lay inside overcame everything else.

Adam and Eve were told they could eat from any tree in the Garden of Eden with the exception of one. When Satan the devil, disguised as a snake, tempted Eve to eat one of the fruits, she did. Then she convinced Adam, too. Thus, disobeying God, they were expelled from the Garden, and suffered sickness, aging, and finally death.

Both of these stories make mention of a few similarities:

  • Both female protagonists were overcome by curiosity, and this caused them to betray their obligation of not committing their respective wrongs.
  • While, both different in story, they share the same subtext. Temptation is evil, or something like that.

So to put it shortly: No, Pandora is not Eve's mother. They are different characters from different stories of mythology from different periods of time.

No, God created Adam in his own image, and then once he saw that Adam was lonely, he created a mate, Eve. Pandora has nothing to do with Adam and Eve and the story of creation.

Although there has been evidence, actual evidence. Not just from The Bible, that How the mother and father of Adam and eve really was. So to just say that "The Bible says so" does not come true. As more evidence is uncapped then I will enlighten those with closed minds.
