Pandora was sent to torment the humans through a means of releasing evils into the world. Furthermore, Pandora was sent holding such evils in what was called, Pandora’s Box. This helps to develop an understanding of how important protection of evil can be. Under today’s literature the phrase “Pandora’s Box” has been incorporated in the modern dictionary. It is defined by the Random House dictionary as “a source of extensive but unforeseen troubles or problems” (“Pandora’s Box”). The meaning of “to open Pandora’s box” metaphorically means to perform an action that seems innocent when in fact has far reaching consequences. Today, such literature can be used and implies a source of complication which brings new and unexpected problems to arise. This is a contemporary view of classical literature adopted through Greek Mythology. One can see such phrases used in modern literature with a historical reference to Greek mythology. This explains how myths influences the Twenty First Century
