PANDO'RA, in Greek mythology, the first 

 woman created. Jupiter was so angered at 



Proim-theus hec-m*. tin- hitter had stolen fire 

 from heaven that lie resolved to avenge liiin- 

 -' It upon man. So he called upon Vulcan to 



on a beimr in godlike form from earth and 

 Ml the gods joined in endowing the 

 it- w bring with attractive qualities or those 

 qualified to make mischief. Minerva gave her 

 art i.-t-knowledge, Venus contributed beauty, and 

 MiTciiry made her artful and designing. The 

 Graces and the Seasons clothed her, and Jupi- 

 TIT christened her Pandora, or all-gifts. Thus 

 cndt new creation was sent to Prome- 



theus. who received lit r coldly, for he was sus- 

 picion.* of gifts from the gods. Then Mercury 

 took lit r to Kpimetheus, who was much more 

 trustful than his 'brother. He married her and 

 was happy until Mercury brought a box which 



onfided to the care of Pandora, with strict 

 injunctions that she should not open it. Her 

 curiosity, however, was too strong, and she un- 

 did the fa-temnt:-. Then at once there hur*t
