In addition to sentencing Prometheus to eternity on a mountain, Zeus gave Prometheus's' brother Epimetheus two gifts. One of them was a jar filled with the spites that was never to be opened and also a woman.

∙ 14y agoOften the contents of her box are only described as 'all kinds of evil'.
The ancient author Hesiod says: For she brings with her a jar containing burdensome toil and sickness that brings death to men diseases and a myriad other pains. All agree that the only thing which stayed in her box was Hope.

∙ 11y agoPrometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to mankind. As punishment, Zeus chained Prometheus to a rock in Caucasus, where an eagle ate his liver every day, but due to Prometheus' immortality his liver grew back every night. As punishment for mankind, Zeus sent Pandora (who was created by the gods to be the perfect woman) to Prometheus' brother Epimetheus as a wife. With Pandora, came Pandora's box which contained all the evils, pain and illnesses of mankind. Pandora could not contain her curiosity, despite being told to never open the box, and opened it, releasing all the evils, pain and illnesses. However, at the bottom of the box was hope.
