Made at the behest of Zeus by Hephaestus from earth and water.  Athena taught her 
needlework and weaving, and clothed her; Aphrodite endowed her with beauty and 
the power to inspire longing; Hermes placed in her a shameless mind and larcenous 
character.  She was sent to Epimetheus with a jar which contained troubles, toil, 
illnesses, and hope.  Pandora released the evils, which now afflict mankind, but hope 
remains in the jar.
