One question: why do English speaking people use the term box, when the Greek term was πίθος which is this
πίθος - Google Search

so the correct term would be jar...or vase.


btw...there are not so many similarities. The myth of Pandora is the pessimistic allegory of human condition, which can free itself from evil through hope.

I like Pandora's myth better...because in Adam and Eve the presence of that snake is quite disturbing

Any similarity?

I'd say they are quite similar, both explain the origin of evil and also the tragic nature of the human condition: these problems cannot be eradicated.

Any similarity?

yes. women are the mothers of everything. so from woman comes the worst, and from woman comes the best. there is nothing that wasn't born out of a woman.
