According to Hesiod, which god crafted Pandora's body from earth?

According to Hesiod, Hephaestus crafted Pandora's body from earth.

Hephaestus was the Greek god of fire, metalworking, craftsmanship, and smithing. Zeus instructed him to make Pandora, and the resulting creation was presented as a woman shaped from earth. Other gods then contributed attributes or adornments, making Pandora a collective divine creation rather than the work of Hephaestus alone.

This detail is distinct from the story's other divine gifts. Hesiod assigns different contributions to different gods, and later summaries often compress those roles into a single act by Zeus. Hephaestus's role fits his traditional identity as the divine artisan who fashions extraordinary objects and beings.

The account appears in Hesiod's Theogony and Works and Days, though the two poems differ in emphasis and detail. Later artists frequently depict Hephaestus at a forge, reinforcing his association with the making of Pandora.
