She is a mythological figure: the first woman. As the story goes, she was too curious for her own good. Kind of like Adam and Eve, who were told to eat of any tree in the Garden of Eden except one... Pandora was told not to open one container (usually referred to as Pandora's Box). She ends up opening it anyway (again, similar to Eve), and letting evil into the world. Here is a version of the story: http://www.pantheon.org/areas/folklore/folktales/articles/pandora.html See also the wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora The first woman. Zeus created her to punish mankind after Prometheus stole fire from the gods for them.
