Pandora

1.Zeus demanded that the other gods make Pandora as a poisoned gift for man. Pandora was given several traits from the different gods: Hephaestus molded her out of clay and gave her form; Athena clothed her and the Charites adorned her with necklaces made by Hephaestus; Aphrodite gave her beauty; Apollo gave her musical talent and a gift for healing; Demeter taught her to tend a garden; Poseidon gave her a pearl necklace and the ability to never drown; Zeus made her idle, mischievous, and foolish; Hera gave her curiosity; Hermes gave her cunning, boldness, and charm. Thus the name Pandora—"all gifts"—in Hesiod's version derives from the fact that she received gifts from all deities. The most significant of these gifts, however, was a pithos or storage jar,1 given to Pandora either by Hermes or Zeus. Before he was chained to the rock, Prometheus had warned Epimetheus not to take any gifts from the gods. However, When Pandora arrived, he fell in love with her. Hermes told Epimetheus that Pandora was a gift to the titan from Zeus, and he warned Epimetheus not to open the jar, which was Pandora's dowry. Until then, mankind lived life in a paradise without worry. Epimetheus told Pandora never to open the jar she had received from Zeus. However, Pandora's curiosity got the better of her and she opened it, releasing all the misfortunes of mankind Once opened, she shut it in time to keep one thing in the jar: hope. The world remained extremely bleak for an unspecified interval, until Pandora "chanced" to revisit the box again, at which point Hope fluttered out. Thus, mankind always has hope in times of evil.

Pandora scaping

The act of selectively liking songs on a Pandora station so that it will only play songs of a very specific sub-genre.

Bro, that Snoop Dog song was the tits! Why didn't you like it?

I know dude, but that'd totally throw off my Afroman station!

Dude, quit your Pandora scaping and like the bloody song!

Pandora Drift

While listening to Pandora® this is the period of time inevitably about every 6th song played that the style "drifts" away from style or band chosen.

I was blissing out during my massage to tranquil music when Pandora Drift struck with a beat-laden tune that really crushed my groove...
