Hephaestus, the god of fire, then delivered Pandora as a bride for Epimetheus, the foolish younger brother of Prometheus.
Her husband, Epimetheus, stored the jar on a high shelf to keep Pandora from temptation. Prometheus warned his brother not to trust Zeus or his presents.
So she opened the jar which Zeus had given her as a wedding present, and released the swarm of evil spirits trapped within.
All the evils, like disease, hatred and selfishness, had escaped and would ever afterwards plague mankind.
