Her other name—inscribed against her figure on a white-ground kylix in the British Museum [4] —is Anesidora Ancient Greek : Ἀνησιδώρα , "she who sends up gifts" [5] up implying "from below" within the earth. The Pandora myth is a kind of theodicy , addressing the question of why there is evil in the world, according to which, Pandora opened a jar pithos ; commonly referred to as " Pandora's box " releasing all the evils of humanity.

It has been argued that Hesiod's interpretation of Pandora's story went on to influence both Jewish and Christian theology and so perpetuated her bad reputation into the Renaissance. Later poets, dramatists, painters and sculptors made her their subject. Hesiod , both in his Theogony briefly, without naming Pandora outright, line and in Works and Days , gives the earliest version of the Pandora story.

The Pandora myth first appeared in lines — of Hesiod's poem in epic meter , the Theogony c. After humans received the stolen gift of fire from Prometheus , an angry Zeus decides to give humanity a punishing gift to compensate for the boon they had been given. He commands Hephaestus to mold from earth the first woman, a "beautiful evil" whose descendants would torment the human race.

After Hephaestus does so, Athena dresses her in a silvery gown, an embroidered veil, garlands and an ornate crown of silver. This woman goes unnamed in the Theogony , but is presumably Pandora, whose myth Hesiod revisited in Works and Days.

When she first appears before gods and mortals, "wonder seized them" as they looked upon her. But she was "sheer guile, not to be withstood by men. For from her is the race of women and female kind: of her is the deadly race and tribe of women who live amongst mortal men to their great trouble, no helpmeets in hateful poverty, but only in wealth.

Hesiod goes on to lament that men who try to avoid the evil of women by avoiding marriage will fare no better —7 :. Hesiod concedes that occasionally a man finds a good wife, but still "evil contends with good. The more famous version of the Pandora myth comes from another of Hesiod's poems, Works and Days.

In this version of the myth lines 60— , [8] Hesiod expands upon her origin and moreover widens the scope of the misery she inflicts on humanity. As before, she is created by Hephaestus, but now more gods contribute to her completion 63—82 : Athena taught her needlework and weaving 63—4 ; Aphrodite "shed grace upon her head and cruel longing and cares that weary the limbs" 65—6 ; Hermes gave her "a shameless mind and a deceitful nature" 67—8 ; Hermes also gave her the power of speech, putting in her "lies and crafty words" 77—80 ; Athena then clothed her 72 ; next Persuasion and the Charites adorned her with necklaces and other finery 72—4 ; the Horae adorned her with a garland crown Finally, Hermes gives this woman a name: "Pandora [i.

In this retelling of her story, Pandora's deceitful feminine nature becomes the least of humanity's worries. For she brings with her a jar which, due to textual corruption in the sixteenth century, came to be called a box [10] [11] [12] containing "countless plagues" Prometheus had fearing further reprisals warned his brother Epimetheus not to accept any gifts from Zeus.

But Epimetheus did not listen; he accepted Pandora, who promptly scattered the contents of her jar. As a result, Hesiod tells us, the earth and sea are "full of evils" One item, however, did not escape the jar 96—9 :.

Only Hope remained there in an unbreakable home within under the rim of the great jar, and did not fly out at the door; for ere that, the lid of the jar stopped her, by the will of Aegis-holding Zeus who gathers the clouds.

Hesiod does not say why hope elpis remained in the jar. Hesiod also outlines how the end of man's Golden Age an all-male society of immortals who were reverent to the gods, worked hard, and ate from abundant groves of fruit was brought on by Prometheus.

When he stole Fire from Mt. Olympus and gave it to mortal man, Zeus punished the technologically advanced society by creating a woman. Thus, Pandora was created and given the jar mistranslated as 'box' which releases all evils upon man. Archaic and Classic Greek literature seem to make little further mention of Pandora, but mythographers later filled in minor details or added postscripts to Hesiod's account.

For example, the Bibliotheca and Hyginus each make explicit what might be latent in the Hesiodic text: Epimetheus married Pandora. They each add that the couple had a daughter, Pyrrha , who married Deucalion and survived the deluge with him.

However, the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women , fragment 5 , had made a "Pandora" one of the daughters of Deucalion, and the mother of Graecus by Zeus. In the 15th-century AD an attempt was made to conjoin pagan and scriptural narrative by the monk Annio da Viterbo , who claimed to have found an account by the ancient Chaldean historian Berossus in which "Pandora" was named as a daughter-in-law of Noah in the alternative Flood narrative.

The mistranslation of pithos , a large storage jar, as "box" [15] is usually attributed to the sixteenth century humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam when he translated Hesiod's tale of Pandora into Latin.

Hesiod's pithos refers to a large storage jar, often half-buried in the ground, used for wine, oil or grain.

Historic interpretations of the Pandora figure are rich enough to have offered Dora and Erwin Panofsky scope for monographic treatment.

West writes that the story of Pandora and her jar is from a pre-Hesiodic myth, and that this explains the confusion and problems with Hesiod's version and its inconclusiveness.

He also writes that it may have been that Epimetheus and Pandora and their roles were transposed in the pre-Hesiodic myths, a "mythic inversion". He remarks that there is a curious correlation between Pandora being made out of earth in Hesiod's story, to what is in the Bibliotheca that Prometheus created man from water and earth.

The meaning of Pandora's name, according to the myth provided in Works and Days , is "all-gifted". However, according to others, Pandora more properly means "all-giving". An alternative name for Pandora attested on a white-ground kylix ca. Written above this figure a convention in Greek vase painting is the name Anesidora.

More commonly, however, the epithet anesidora is applied to Gaea or Demeter. In view of such evidence, William E. Phipps has pointed out, "Classics scholars suggest that Hesiod reversed the meaning of the name of an earth goddess called Pandora all-giving or Anesidora one-who-sends-up-gifts.

Vase paintings and literary texts give evidence of Pandora as a mother earth figure who was worshipped by some Greeks. The main English commentary on Works and Days states that Hesiod shows no awareness [of this].

Jane Ellen Harrison [24] also turned to the repertory of vase-painters to shed light on aspects of myth that were left unaddressed or disguised in literature.

On a fifth-century amphora in the Ashmolean Museum her fig. A winged ker with a fillet hovers overhead: "Pandora rises from the earth; she is the Earth, giver of all gifts," Harrison observes. Over time this "all-giving" goddess somehow devolved into an "all-gifted" mortal woman.

Smith, [25] however, noted that in Hesiod's account Athena and the Seasons brought wreaths of grass and spring flowers to Pandora, indicating that Hesiod was conscious of Pandora's original "all-giving" function. For Harrison, therefore, Hesiod's story provides "evidence of a shift from matriarchy to patriarchy in Greek culture.

As the life-bringing goddess Pandora is eclipsed, the death-bringing human Pandora arises. She is no longer Earth-Born, but the creature, the handiwork of Olympian Zeus. Robert Graves , quoting Harrison, [26] asserts of the Hesiodic episode that "Pandora is not a genuine myth, but an anti-feminist fable, probably of his own invention.

Rose wrote that the myth of Pandora is decidedly more illiberal than that of epic in that it makes Pandora the origin of all of Man's woes with her being the exemplification of the bad wife. The Hesiodic myth did not, however, completely obliterate the memory of the all-giving goddess Pandora.

A scholium to line of Aristophanes ' The Birds mentions a cult "to Pandora, the earth, because she bestows all things necessary for life". Jeffrey M. Hurwit has interpreted her presence there as an "anti-Athena.
