Pandora was the first woman on Earth. Hephaestus created her, using water and earth. Pandora was given a beautiful container – with instructions not to open it under any circumstance. Pandora was curious so she opened it, and all evil contained therein escaped and spread over the earth. She hastened to close the container, but the whole contents had escaped, except for one thing that lay at the bottom – Hope. Zeus did not punish Pandora, because he knew this would happen.
