In Greek mythology, Athena gives Pandora her clothing and adornment.
Hesiod describes Pandora as being equipped by several gods before she is sent to Epimetheus. Athena, the goddess associated with wisdom, warfare, and crafts, teaches or dresses Pandora in fine clothing. This detail contributes to the idea that Pandora is a divinely fashioned figure whose appearance and abilities are assembled by the gods.
Other gods have different roles in the account. Aphrodite gives beauty and desire, while Hermes supplies a deceptive or persuasive nature. These separate contributions help explain why Pandora’s creation is often called a collective divine work.
Modern summaries sometimes assign every gift to a single deity or treat the gifts as interchangeable. Hesiod’s presentation is more specific: the gods contribute distinct qualities. Athena’s role concerns clothing and adornment, not the container’s opening or the release of troubles.
