Pandora

Spare me if this was already explored, but, in greek mithology, the Prometheus mith comes with a feminine "counterpart", Pandora. From Wikipedia: "Hesiod revisits the story of Prometheus in the Works and Days (lines 42–105). Here, the poet expands upon Zeus's reaction to the theft of fire. Not only does Zeus withhold fire from men, but "the means of life," as well (42). Had Prometheus not provoked Zeus's wrath (44–47), "you would easily do work enough in a day to supply you for a full year even without working; soon would you put away your rudder over the smoke, and the fields worked by ox and sturdy mule would run to waste." Hesiod also expands upon the Theogony's story of the first woman, now explicitly called Pandora ("all gifts"). After Prometheus' theft of fire, Zeus sent Pandora in retaliation. Despite Prometheus' warning, Epimetheus accepted this "gift" from the gods. [b]Pandora carried a jar with her, from which were released (91–92) "evils, harsh pain and troublesome diseases which give men death".[9] Pandora shut the lid of the jar too late to contain all the evil plights that escaped, but hope remained in the jar[/b]." Doesn´t this theme of "pandora opening a jar" resonates with "Alien" mithology?
