In Greek mythology, Pandora ( Ancient Greek: Πανδώρα, derived from πᾶς "all" and δῶρον "gift", thus "all-gifted" or "all-giving") [1] was Phthian princess as the daughter of King Deucalion of Thessaly. She was named after her maternal grandmother, the more infamous Pandora. [2]
Biography
Pandora's mother was Pyrrha, daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora. She was the sister of Hellen and Thyia. Her other possible siblings were Amphictyon, Protogeneia, Melantho ( Melantheia) and Candybus.
According to the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women, Pandora was the mother of Graecus by the god Zeus. [3] The same parentage can be attributed to Latinus. [4] In some accounts, Pandora's children by Zeus were called Melera and Pandorus. [5]
