abrir la caja de pandora
  19

Pandora, ( which has all the 41 gifts; the Greek pas passa bread, everything and doron dorou, gift, gift, according to Greek mythology, was the first woman, created by Hephaestus by order of Zeus for giving it to Epimetheus, brother of Prometheus, as a punishment for having stolen fire from the gods to give it to the men to this. In love with Epimetheus married her, ignoring the advice of his brother not to accept any present of Zeus. The gods gave Pandora a mysterious jar ( then box ) as a wedding gift with the warning to never open it. Overcome by curiosity, Pandora opened it out all evils. Only hope remained closed. That hope is the last thing is lost. Open Pandora's box was for posterity as a symbol of the catastrophic consequences that can bring in a project or activity a seemingly insignificant but imprudent action.
