Pandora's Box

Pandora's Box is the box owned by the mythological figure Pandora, which released all the sorrows of mankind into the world when opened; it also contained the spirit Hope-see Pandora.

Because of this it has gained a number of other meanings:

• a play by Frank Wedekind, Die Büchse der Pandora in the original German; see Pandora's Box (play)
• a film based on the Wedekind play directed by G. W. Pabst and starring Louise Brooks; see Pandora's Box (movie)
• a video game designed by Alexey Pajitnov, the co-developer of Tetris; see Pandora's Box
• a commercial BDSM establishment in New York
