In [[Greek mythology]], '''Pandora''' was a woman entrusted by the gods with a box, and told never to open it. However, due to what the story calls feminine curiosity, she did open the box, and resultantly let loose from it all the misfortunes that befall men (such as [[greed]] and [[death]]). Pandora closed the box, trapping the sprite of hope inside, but when it begged to be released, she opened the box again, allowing hope to enter the world. <ref>[http://www.pantheon.org/areas/folklore/folktales/articles/pandora.html Encyclopedia Mythica: Pandora's Box]</ref>
