    "And in her breast, the messenger, killer of Argos, created lies;


    deceiving words, a deceitful heart, just as Zeus with his angry
    mutterings had wished. Then the herald of the gods gave her the
    power of speech and the name of Pandora, because that name
    represented all the inhabitants of Olympus who, with this gift, made a
    present of misfortune to mankind."
    Pandora & Hephaestus, Athenian red-figureamphora C5th B.C.,
    Ashmolean Museum
