What is Pandora the Greek goddess Roman name?

Pandora is not a Greek goddess in the traditional sense, but rather the first mortal woman in Greek mythology. She was created by the gods, particularly by Hephaestus on the orders of Zeus, and each god gave her a unique trait (beauty, cunning, curiosity, etc.). She is most famous for opening a jar (commonly miscalled "Pandora’s box") that released all the evils into the world, leaving only hope inside. Roman Equivalent of Pandora: Pandora does not have a direct Roman counterpart as goddesses like Hera (Juno), Athena (Minerva), and Aphrodite (Venus) do. However, the story of Pandora was still adopted by Roman writers like Ovid and Hesiod (translated/adapted), but her name remained Pandora in Roman mythology too. So, her Roman name is also Pandora.
