Definition
- n. - A beautiful woman (all-gifted), whom Jupiter caused Vulcan
to make out of clay in order to punish the human race, because
Prometheus had stolen the fire from heaven. Jupiter gave Pandora a box
containing all human ills, which, when the box was opened, escaped and
spread over the earth. Hope alone remained in the box. Another version
makes the box contain all the blessings of the gods, which were lost to
men when Pandora opened it.
- n. - A genus of marine bivalves, in which one valve is flat,
the other convex.
