Type of allusion: Mythological
Pandoras box was a mythological jar that came from greek mythology that held unstoppable evil and whenever the contents of the jar was opened, the contents in the jar would be released. **The Myth** The myth of Pandora's Box started when Promethesus (the God of Fire) stole fire from Heaven and gave it to his mortals. Zues was not pleased, and he created Pandroa as a mate for Epimethesus (the brother of Promethesus.) They created Pandroa with Earth and water. Pandora was given a jar and was told to never open it. Pandora could not hold her curiosity anymore and she opened the box. When she opened the box, she released uncontrollable evil into the world. Hope continued to stay inside the box because Zues wanted to let people suffer in order to show that you should never disobey your gods. Pandora was a magnificantly attractive woman that was created from earth and water who was created to hold the contents in the box safe.The gods made her curious making her open the box and releasing all the evils out of the box which spread among mankind.
