The Greek name of the woman who opened the famous jar is Pandora.
Pandora means “all-gifted” or “all-giving,” a name connected with the gifts the gods are said to have bestowed on her. In Works and Days, she is created as part of Zeus’s punishment of humanity after Prometheus takes fire for humans.
The story presents Pandora as the first woman in the Greek mythic tradition preserved by Hesiod. Different gods contribute qualities or adornments, including skill, charm, and persuasive speech. Hermes gives her a deceptive or treacherous character in the poem’s moral framework.
Pandora is not the name of the jar, and Elpis is not another name for her. Elpis is the figure or concept associated with hope that remains inside the vessel.
