I only know of one: Pandora's Box. I believe 'Pandora's Box' is actually a misnomer, because it was actually a jar that Pandora had opened, not a box. Here is the story of Pandora's Box, rewritten from "D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths."
The story is that Hephaestus created a woman out of white marble, made her eyes out of sparkling sapphires, her lips out of red rubies. Athena breathed life into her, and gave her beautiful rich garments to wear. Aphrodite gave her jewels and riches, and fixed her mouth into a winning smile. Zeus then gave her insatiable curiosity, and then gave her a sealed jar, warning her never to open it.
Hermes brought the woman Pandora down to earth, and offered her in marriage to Epimetheus, who lived among the mortals. Epimetheus then took her hand in marriage. Later on in her life, Pandora was still not perfectly happy. Because of her insatiable curiosity, she couldn't resist opening the jar that Zeus had given her.
Pandora opened the lid, and out swarmed a horde of miseries, including Scolding, Deceit, Despair, Fibs, Lies, Accusation, Envy, Distrust, Old Age, Gossip, Scheming, and Drudgery. Pandora, horrified at what she had done, quickly closed the jar tightly. She did this just in time to keep Hope from flying away too. This was exactly what Zeus had planned, and he smiled as he saw mankind being bitten and stung by these miseries. Zeus then flooded the world, in disgust at what mankind could do to one another from the cause of the miseries.
Only one man was left who had not yet turned evil. His name was Deucalion, and he was a son of Prometheus.
This is the story of Pandora's Box.
