In the Greek myth of Pandora's Box, stolen fire prompted Zeus to create Pandora as revenge against humanity.
Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans, allowing them to live with a power previously reserved for the divine. Zeus responded by devising a punishment that would affect humanity rather than only Prometheus.
He ordered the gods to create Pandora, the first woman in Hesiod's account, and sent her to Epimetheus. Pandora's arrival led to the opening of the container that released troubles into the human world. The myth therefore links the stolen fire directly to the creation of Pandora and the later release of evils.
This detail comes primarily from Hesiod's Works and Days. The familiar phrase “Pandora's box” is a later expression: Hesiod described a large storage jar, or pithos, not a small box.
