Pandora \Pan*do"ra\, n. [L., fr. Gr. Pandw`ra; pa^s, pa^n, all +
   dw^ron a gift.]
   1. (Class. Myth.) A beautiful woman (all-gifted), whom
      Jupiter caused Vulcan to make out of clay in order to
      punish the human race, because Prometheus had stolen the
      fire from heaven. Jupiter gave Pandora a box containing
      all human ills, which, when the box was opened, escaped
      and spread over the earth. Hope alone remained in the box.
      Another version makes the box contain all the blessings of
      the gods, which were lost to men when Pandora opened it.

   2. (Zo["o]l.) A genus of marine bivalves, in which one valve
      is flat, the other convex.
