    All the worlds evils.

    In Greek mythology, Pandora ("all gifted") was the first woman. Zeus ordered Hephaestus to make her as part of the punishment of mankind for Prometheus' theft of the secret of fire. According to the myth, Pandora opened a container releasing all the miseries of mankind—greed, vanity, slander, envy, pining—leaving only hope inside once she had closed it again.
    # http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora

    Hope was personified in Greek mythology as Elpis. When Pandora opened Pandora's Box, she let out all the evils except one: Hope. Apparently the Greeks considered Hope to be as dangerous as all the world's evils. But without hope to accompany all their troubles, humanity was filled with despair. It was a great relief when Pandora revisited her box and let out hope as well. It may be worthy to note that in the story, Hope is represented as weakly leaving the box but is in effect far more potent than any of the major evils.

    in the original legend, it was all the evils of the world...I guess there were a lot of political leaders and terrorists in there as well.

    Nothing now. It did contain all the evils of mankind, but Pandora opened it (against Zeus's orders) and let them all out.

    The heads of all of the people who asked questions on this forum about what the story of Pandora's Box was about when they could have just googled it or went to a library and read a book!

    You question is slightly different than that stupid question that at least three other people asked multiple times, so its alright.

    P.S.-sorry for the rant,some people are just stupid.

    When Pandora opened the "box" (which was actually thought to be a jar or vase), she released its contents--all the evils and misery of the world, but one thing remained in the "box"--hope.

    I find it funny that mankind focuses on the negative impact of the story. We are missing the point. The opening of the box was good it gave man the greatest gift of all "Hope". Without hope we would not have love, the drive for success, compassion, or the sense to know the difference between sorrow and joy. I myself find the story to be inspiring, with hope we can overcome all evils. I believe that is the actual point of the story.
