Pandora

Pandora was a woman of near-perfection formed out of clay by the gods. She was the one who opened the jar (or pithos) with all the evils in humanity, mistranslated as Pandora's Box.
==The Dungeon Master's Theogony: Works and Days==
To punish mankind for its part in Prometheus' theft of the secret of fire without revealing his interference, Zeus took Aphrodite's suggestion of using the love of a woman. Hence, Hephaestus molded the very first woman out of clay. Zeus breathed life into her, and all the other gods participated in ensuring that this woman was perfect in every way: Aphrodite gave her beauty and charm to make her irresistible; Apollo taught her how to sing and play the lyre; Demeter taught her how to tend a garden; Poseidon gave her a pearl necklace and promised she would never drown; Athena gave her cleverness and curiosity, and taught her weaving and crafts, and Hermes gave her deceitfulness. She was named "Pandora" and sent to Prometheus' brother, Epimetheus, to become his wife.
Before he was chained, Prometheus warned Epimetheus not to accept any gifts from Zeus, but he ignored his brother's warning as he couldn't resist the beautiful Pandora. Aphrodite later gave Pandora a mysterious wedding present in the form of a large ceramic jar (pithos) and warned her that under no circumstances was she to open the jar, for it was just for looking at.
However, because the gods had given her curiosity, Pandora eventually opened the jar and indirectly unleashed uncountable evils into the world: misery, disease, sorrow, death, and so on. Zeus' vengeance against mankind was therefore fulfilled, for these evils served as an utter plague on the world, making life for humanity far worse than it had ever been before. However, even in the midst of all this, it was still revealed that Zeus did have some sense of shame over his vengeance - Elpis, the Spirit of Hope, remained in the jar and stayed with humanity so that it wouldn't succumb completely to despair and would always believe in a better future.
