1. Pandora's box Pandora's box

Pandora is the first earth woman in Greek mythology. After Prometheus stole the skyfire from the world, the Lord God Zeus ordered God to mold a young and hypocritical beautiful girl out of clay, named Pandora, which means "a woman with all talents", gave her a gift box, and then betrothed her to Prometheus' younger brother Epimetheus.

Epimetheus took the gift box regardless of taboos, and Pandora took the opportunity to open it, so all kinds of bad habits, disasters and diseases immediately flew out from it. There is only one beautiful thing left in the box: hope. But before hope flew out, Pandora closed the box forever. Pandora's box is used as a metaphor for the root of disaster.
