There are many words and phrases in our language that we use daily but don’t know much (or even none) about them. When I hear any of them I try to find out what is the story behind them.

Pandora box is one of them;
Pandora is a moon, a small satellite of the planet Saturn. Andy Collin and some other people from US first discovered it in 1980. It is irregular in shape and very small in size. It is the forth known moon of the planet and ….. Hey what am I talking about? It was discovered in 1980 and the term Pandora box is being used from centuries. What else then….. Yah! I remember know, there is a Pandora mountain somewhere in Western Australia. But it is a mountain, not a box. Ok the real story is;
It was centuries back when gods decided to create a woman. She was the first one on earth. God Hephaestus created her at the request of God Zeus and sent her to the earth. When she was sent, a box was given to her with instructions to not open the box. She was Pandora, the first woman on earth according to Greek methodologies. She was ever happy and comfortable but curious about the box so she disobeyed the gods and opened the box. What happened next is unknown. Different stories are their and two of them are strong one.
1. When she opened the box she came to know that all her pain and sorrow was locked into the box and till now the women are in pain and sorrow.
2. When she opened the box she found all her joy and happiness locked into it. She tried to close the box to keep joy and happiness with her but it was too late. Till then there is no happiness and joy for women.
