In Hisod’s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesiod account of humanity’s mythic origins, ‘Works and days’ man was first created alone, with no female mate to accompany him on his journey through the world. Woman would make her first appearance not as man’s helpmate and partner, but as his punishment

There was nothing inherently evil about Pandora. Although she had been warned against opening the python, it was her innocent curiosity – a characteristic given by Hera –that led to her downfall. She could not resist peeping inside the jar, she pulled back the lit, and all the ills and misfortunes of the world flew out; Hunger, Sickness, Loss, Loneliness and Death. Horrified, Pandora hastily pushed the lid back on – just in time to prevent Hope from escaping. With hope the world could still preserve, des;ite the adversity that the jealous Zeus had inflicted on mankind.
