ENT_ELPIS,SRC_HESIOD_THEOGONY,direct attestation,"Works and Days 94-98: when Pandora opens the storage jar, all the evils fly out into the world; only Elpis (Hope) remains inside under the jar's lip — ""for the lid of the great jar stopped her before she could fly out""; Hesiod is the ONLY ancient source that names Elpis in this role; the ambiguity of whether Hope remaining in the jar is good (hope stays with humanity) or evil (humanity is deceived by vain hope) is a productive ancient interpretive problem"
