Definitions:
-
(1)
(Pandora) Greek mythology: the first woman; she was presented with a container which when opened released all of humanity's evilsThe original Greek references a jar into which the evils of mankind are placed; however, a 16th century translation error added the expression "Pandora's box" into the English language.
When Pandora closed the jar, the only thing that remained in it was hope; though some translate that pessimistically as "deceptive expectation". -

(meaning too rare to warrant focus) Pandora can also reference a popular music app (because the mythical Pandora received the gift of music from the gods). It can also reference other things given that name.
