Detailed explanation-1: -Zeus sent her to Epimetheus, who forgot the warning of his brother Prometheus and made Pandora his wife. She afterward opened the jar, from which the evils flew out over the earth. Hope alone remained inside, the lid having been shut down before she could escape.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pandora’s Box: The Evils of the World One day, and fulfilling her destiny, curiosity got the better of Pandora and she lifted the lid of the storage jar which released all the evils of the world. These terrible things included disease, war, vice, toil, and the necessity to work for sustenance.
Detailed explanation-3: -The figure of Pandora is often shown with a box in her hand. What does this box symbolize? (It can symbolize different things, two of them being the evils of the world and temptations that we can’t resist because of curiosity.)
Detailed explanation-4: -Once Pandora’s box is open there is only evolution, hence it shouldn’t be played with if one is not ready to face the truth of what this evolution implies.
