Pandora was the pagan Eve, and she is one of the rare mythological figures to have retained vitality up to our day. Glorified by Calder�n, Voltaire, and Goethe, she is familiar to all of us, and Pandora's box is a household word. In this classic study Dora and Erwin Panofsky trace the history of Pandora and of Pandora's box in European literature and art from Roman times to the present.
