In Greek mythology, Hermes delivered Pandora to humanity.
Hesiod’s Works and Days describes Pandora being brought to Epimetheus by Hermes, the Olympian messenger. Hermes is associated with travel, communication, boundaries, trade, and transitions, so his role as the divine carrier fits his broader mythological functions.
Pandora had already received contributions from several gods during her creation. Hermes’s part is not the physical shaping of her from earth, nor the giving of her golden crown. Those details belong to other figures in the account. Hermes instead completes the transfer from the divine world to the human household of Epimetheus.
The episode is one part of Zeus’s response to Prometheus’s theft of fire. By placing Pandora among humans, Zeus introduces the chain of events that leads to the opening of the jar and the spread of suffering. Hermes’s delivery makes him the myth’s intermediary between Olympus and humanity.
