Best Answer

If you're referring to Pandora's Box, she couldn't open it because she was told not to. She was the first (human) woman created by Hephaestus, and Zeus gave her a box with instructions not to open it in any case. Because of her curiosity, she opened the box, and the spirits of all sorts of evils, such as plagues and diseases, flew out into the world. However, she shut the box in time to restrain Hope from leaving. Even though the world is full of evil, at least we still have Hope.
