PAN'DEREN (Egbert), a Dutch engraver, was born 
in 1606. He refided, during great part of his life, at 
Antwerp, but he often added the word Haerlemenfis to 
his name, from which we may infer that he was a native 
of Haerlem. He worked entirely fwith the graver, in 
a ftiff formal ftyle ; and his prints have neither harmony 
of effeCt, nor correCtnefs of drawing to recommend them. 
The moft worthy of notice is, “ God, an Angel, a Man, 
and the Devil; or, The Hiftory of Sicknefs and Medi¬ 
cine,” from Henry Goltzius, in quarto, a very rare 
print.

PAND'ORA, a celebrated woman, the firft mortal fe¬ 
male that ever lived, according to Hefiod. She was made 
PAN 327 
of clay by Vulcan, at the command of Jupiter who wifhed 
to pbnilh the artifice of Prometheus by giving him a wife. 
When this woman of clay had been made by the artift, 
and received life, all the gods vied in making her pre- 
fents: Venus gave her beauty and the art of pleafing; 
Juno gave riches; Apollo taught her how to fing; Mer¬ 
cury inftruCted her in eloquence ; and Minerva gave her 
wifdom. From all thefe valuable prefents, which Ihe 
had received from the gods, the woman was called Pan¬ 
dora, which intimates that (he had received every necef- 
fary gift. Jupiter after this gave her a beautiful box, 
which flie was ordered to prefent to the man who mar¬ 
ried her 5 and, by the commiflion of the god, Mercury 
conduced her to Prometheus. The artful mortal was fenfi- 
bleof the deceit; and, as he had always diftrufted Jupiter, as 
well as the reft of the gods, fince he had ftolen fire from the 
fun to animate his man of clay, he fent away Pandora 
without fuffering himfelf to be captivated by her charms. 
His brother Epimetheus was not poflefled of the fame 
prudence and fagacity. He married Pandora; and, when 
lie opened the box which (he prefented to him, there if- 
fued from it a multitude of evils and diftempers, which 
difperfed themfelves all over the world, and which, from 
that fatal moment, have never ceafed to affliCl the human 
race. Hope was the only one who remained at the bot¬ 
tom of the box; and it is Ihe alone who has the wonder¬ 
ful power of eafing the labours of man, and of render¬ 
ing his troubles and his forrows lefs painful in life. He- 
fiod's Theog.

PANDO'RE, f. A mufical inftrument of the lute kind. 
—The cythron, the pandore, and the theorbo, ftrike. 
Drayton. 
The word according to forne, is formed from the Greek 
mi and i. e. all gifts, all forts of gifts. Ifidore de¬ 
rives the name from its inventor Pandorus; others from 
Pan, to whom they attribute this invention, as well as 
that of the flute. It has the fame number of firings with 
the lute; but they are of brafs, and of confequence give 
a more agreeable found than thofeof the lute. Its frets 
are of copper, like thofe of the ciftrum ; its back is flat, 
like that of the guitar : and the rims of its table, as well 
as its ribs, are cut in femicircles. Du-Cange obferves, 
that Varro, Ifidore, and others of the ancients, mention 
it as having only three firings; whence it is fometimes 
alfo fpoken of under the denomination trichordum. The 
inftrument called the pandura, or bandora, of the lute 
kind, was very much in favour in our own country du¬ 
ring the feventeenth century : but now, not only itsfcale, 
but even its form, is forgotten.
