The story of Pandora is similar to the story of Adam and Eve in the way that Pandora was the first woman to be created on Earth in Greek mythology, and Eve was the first woman on Earth in The Bible. Both women unleashed evil on to mankind. Pandora was created out of Zeus' anger towards man and Prometheus' stealing of the secret of fire (Zeus was not happy that Prometheus informed mankind of fire), so he gave Pandora a pithos (jar) as a wedding gift when he had her married to Prometheus' younger brother. She opened the jar when she got to her husband's home and it released evil spirits that would forever haunt mankind. Eve tempted Adam to eat the forbidden fruit, the original sin. However, it should be noted that Eve was a gift of companionship and Pandora was created to hurt mankind.

What is the similarity between Adam and Eve's story and Pandora's story?

The story of Prometheus was similar to the story of Adam and Eve in the violation of divine law by all three. For example, God told Adam and Eve not to eat of the forbidden fruit, while the gods told Prometheus not to share their sacred fire with the cold, shivering people on a chilly earth.Another similarity was in the divine punishment of all three. Prometheus was doomed to an eternal cycle of his liver being eaten, grown, eaten, etc. Adam and Eve were expelled from their home, with Eve forced to experience painful childbirth thereafter, and Adam forced to toil the fields to eek out a subsistence from the now non-productive soil, for the rest of his life. They found their lifetimes reduced from unlimited eternity to limited, death-defined mortality.
