In Greek mythology, Pandora was made from earth.
Hesiod says that Hephaestus shaped her form from earth at Zeus’s command. The material connects Pandora with the broader Greek tradition of humans being formed from earthly matter.
The creation is not described as a birth from a divine parent. Instead, Pandora is an artificial creation assembled through craftsmanship and then endowed with qualities by several gods. This makes her a distinct figure in the myth’s explanation of humanity’s troubles.
Later art frequently depicts Pandora as an idealized woman, which can obscure the original material detail. The ancient account’s answer is simply earth, while Hephaestus supplies the technical act of shaping it.
