Pandora let it out because without hope we would be doomed.

Pandora in some versions of the myth (ones by Hesiod) closed the jar before hope could get out because it was Zeus' will. But in almost every other Pandora myth I have read hope escaped. I choose to believe that hope did escape because if it didn't, what would the Greeks have to look forward to in life?

Some interpertations beleive hope was one of the evils in the jar, giving humans a false goal to strive for, hoping in vain that they could overcome the evils released by the jar.
