In Greek mythology, Pandora ("all gifted") was the first woman, fashioned by Zeus as part of the punishment of mankind for Prometheus' theft of the secret of fire. According to the myth, Pandora's temptation lead her to the opening of a container releasing all the miseries of mankind—greed, vanity, slander, envy, pining—leaving only hope inside.

Everything is basically on this website. I did a play about Pandora and i was Epimethius even though I am a girl. Pandora's box was filled with all the evils of the world and if the box were to be open, the evil would be released. And that is why there is evil in the world

Hope was the only thing left in Pandora's Box but it was enough to counteract all the evils that were released.

a box that is supposed to have contained unhappiness, sadness, evil, and ageing. Before there were only kids on the planet but then someone opened the box and unhappiness spread across the world. There were never any problems on the earth before the box was opened but the boxes opening is supposed to be the blame for unhappiness.

According to the myth, Pandora slammed the lid shut on one little spirit: the spirit of hope. That way, hope could not escape and flee from humanity.
So, there is still hope in the box.

Nothing. All the woes of mankind, and one little hope, were freed when it was first opened. From the looks of things in the world no one has been successful in putting any of those woes back in the box.

Something evil, once freed cannot be contained again.
