In Greek mythology, which craftsman god made Pandora from earth?

In Greek mythology, Hephaestus made Pandora from earth. Hesiod’s Works and Days describes Zeus ordering the creation of the first woman, with Hephaestus shaping her body from earth and giving her human form.

Other gods then contribute qualities or gifts to Pandora. Athena teaches her crafts, Aphrodite gives her charm, and Hermes provides deceptive qualities in Hesiod’s account. This division of roles explains why Pandora’s name is connected with gifts from many gods rather than with a single creator.

Hephaestus is the Greek god associated with fire, metalworking, smiths, and craftsmanship. Roman writers generally identify him with Vulcan. The Pandora story therefore presents her creation as divine manufacture, while also linking the myth to the broader conflict between Zeus, Prometheus, and humanity.
