I'm referring to the story of Pandora and how Zeus and the other gods and godesses created her, making her exceptionally beautiful and extremely enticing. It is always said that you should beware gifts given by the gods, but Epimetheus, Prometheus's brother, was the "dimmer" of the two brothers and took her anyway.
Upon her marriage with Epimetheus, she discovered the box that epimetheus had that contained all of life's sorrows, terrors and pain. Pandora was given the attribute of curiousity and because of that, she opened the box causing an immense amount of intense emotions and feelings of trepidation, pain, fear, terror, sorrow etc., into the world. She quickly closed it and the only thing left in the box was hope.
The story is the cousin of the Adam and Eve Story, temptation and etc. But Pandora basically caused a calamity on earth, a calamity being a great misfortune or disaster or greivous affliction or misery. Hope that clears things up.
sorry, it was late when i did that
