Pandora's Box was a box that the Goddess Aphrodite gave to a mortal named Pandora. Pandora hearing that the goddess put her beauty and love into the box, was curious of what was inside the box. She opened it only to release all the bad in the world. Frightened, Pandora closed the box quickly, leaving only one thing to not be released to reverse what she just did. Hope.

Pandora's box
A source of unforeseen trouble, as in Revising the tax code is opening a Pandora's box. This equivalent for the modern can of worms comes from the Greek legend in which Pandora, entrusted with a box containing the world's ills, is overcome by curiosity and opens it, thereby releasing them. [Late 1500s]

The Pandoras Box is a Metaphore rather than a physical object reffering to an Uncontrolable state. All Hell is Breaking Loose

squall is right, it comes from greek mythology with those gods and godesses, i just don't get the part about hope,
if all the evils of the world were in a box and they got out...
but hope didn't?
but there is always still hope... so???
i did hear the same story though in high school.

that depends from what story it comes, cause from God Of War it contains some godly power, and in an other game it kills u so, it just depends from what story it comes
