Question

Do you also know the last thing to be released from the box?

probably knowledge.

Answer 2

All the worlds evils were released for the first time. She slammed the box shut, but it was too late.

She heard something inside the box and slowly opened it.

She saw a dim light flicker and it rushed out and followed the evils. It was hope, the only thing the gave mankind the ability to pull through all that the world threw at them!

Answer 3

Here is the original story from Hesiod's Works and Days:

"And he called this woman Pandora, because all they who dwelt on Olympus gave each a gift, a plague to men who eat bread.

"But when he had finished the sheer, hopeless snare, the Father sent glorious Argus-Slayer, the swift messenger of the gods, to take it to Epimetheus as a gift.

"And Epimetheus did not think on what Prometheus had said to him, bidding him never take a gift of Olympian Zeus, but to send it back for fear it might prove to be something harmful to men.

"But he took the gift, and afterwards, when the evil thing was already his, he understood.

"For ere this the tribes of men lived on earth remote and free from ills and hard toil and heavy sickness which bring the Fates upon men; for in misery men grow old quickly.

"But the woman took off the great lid of the jar with her hands and scattered all these and her thought caused sorrow and mischief to men.

"Only Hope remained there in an unbreakable home within under the rim of the great jar, and did not fly out at the door; for ere that, the lid of the jar stopped her, by the will of Aegis-holding Zeus who gathers the clouds.

"But the rest, countless plagues, wander amongst men; for earth is full of evils and the sea is full.

"Of themselves diseases come upon men continually by day and by night, bringing mischief to mortals silently; for wise Zeus took away speech from them. So is there no way to escape the will of Zeus."

Answer 4

I don't remember exactly but they were all bad things one of them being disease.  Pandora was told not to open the box by her husband but she did anyway and after she realized that she was letting all those horrible things into the world.  She closed the box but then re-opened it to let out the most important thing--hope.

I'm sure you can find the story in a mythology book at your library too.

Answer 5

all of the evils of mankind and our emotions, hope was supposed to have been contained but i don't think it was if we feel it, it just doesn't make sense to me.

Answer 6

2 nickels, 1 box of old crayon, 1 report card, bunch of evil spirits, a hope.

Answer 7

For my GCSE art we had to do a 'Pandora's box'. I chose a Hollywood theme, i got a D but my school was a complete joke in the education community.

Answer 8

Everything evil that you do not wish ever to be released to the Earth.

Opening Pandora's box is a big mistake.

A recent example of this is going to war in Afghanistan.  A war described by a former SBS Royal Marine Commando, Lord Paddy Ashdown, as "unwinnable".
