Pandora Opening her Box by James Gillray
Zeus and the Jar of good Things
Zeus shut up all good things in a huge wine jar, which he left in the hands of a man. This man was curious and wanted to know what was inside. So he prised open the lid and all the good things blew away, flying up to the gods.
Thus, hope alone remains with men, and promises them the good things which have fled.
Aesop
