The Changing Aspects of a Mythical Symbol

Glorified by Calderon, 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.
