In Greek mythology, Hermes escorted Pandora to Epimetheus.
Hesiod’s Works and Days describes Pandora as a creation assembled by the gods under Zeus’s direction. After the gods supplied her with different gifts, Zeus ordered Hermes to take her to Epimetheus. Hermes was the divine messenger and traveler, making him the natural figure to conduct Pandora from the gods’ realm to the Titan’s home.
Hermes also had a role in shaping Pandora’s presentation. In Hesiod’s account, he gave her a deceptive or treacherous mind and a lying tongue, although the gods’ contributions differ among versions and translations. The story’s details are sometimes compressed in modern retellings, which can make it seem that Zeus himself delivered Pandora.
Hermes is not the craftsman who fashioned Pandora’s body; that role is generally assigned to Hephaestus. Nor is he the god who taught her textile work, a role associated with Athena. These separate divine contributions explain why several gods appear in the creation scene.
