Background Information:
⏹ The Trojan Hor is a tale from the Trojan War, as told in Virgil's Latin epic poem The Aeneid and by Quintus of Smyrna. The events in this story from the Bronze Age took place after Homer's Iliad, and before his Odysy. It was the stratagem that allowed the
Greeks finally to enter the city of Troy and end the conflict. In the best-known version, after a fruitless 10-year siege, the Greeks constructed a huge wooden hor, and hid a lect force of 30 men inside. The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the Hor into their city as a victory trophy. That night the Greek force crept out of the Hor and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greek army entered and destroyed the city of Troy, decisively ending the war.
⏹ Pandora's box is an artifact in Greek mythology. The "box" was actually a large jar (πιθος pithos) given to Pandora (Πανδώρα) ("all-gifted"), which contained all the evils of the world. When Pandora opened the jar, the entire contents of the jar were relead, but for one – hope.[1] Today, opening Pandora's box means to create evil that cannot be undone.
⏹ Pandora (ancient Greek: Πανδώρα, from πbuckyballsᾶν "all" and δῶρον "gift", hence "giver of all" or "all-endowed") was the first woman on Earth. Pandora was created upon the comm
and of Zeus to Hephaestus, the god of craftsmanship. Hephaestus created her using water and earth, while other gods granted her many gifts (for example, beauty from Aphrodite, persuasiveness from Hermes, and music from Apollo).charger

⏹ After Prometheus stole fire from Mount Olympus, Zeus sought reprisal by handing Pandora to Epimetheus, the brother of Prometheus. At the same time, Pandora was given a jar that she was ordered not to open under any circumstances. Despite this warning, overcome by curiosity Pandora opened the jar. Upon doing so, the evils contained within escaped into the world. Scared, Pandora immediately clod the jar, only to trap Hope inside, as was Zeus' will.[2]

⏹ In other versions, Hope does come out though the main purpo of the myth of Pandora is to address why evil exists in the world. It is also believed to be foreboding that did not escape. Many interpretations of the story overlook the fact that Pandora's Box contained all things evil that would plague mankind and Hope was inside this box, thus completely missing this cond lesson of the Myth.
