Hephaestus is traditionally said to shape Pandora from earth in Greek mythology.
Hephaestus is the Olympian god of fire, metalworking, crafts, and the forge. His skill as a divine maker makes him the natural craftsman for Pandora’s construction in Hesiod’s account. Zeus orders the creation, while Hephaestus forms the figure from earth.
Other gods then contribute attributes, helping produce the “all-gifted” woman sent to humanity. The story links divine craftsmanship with both beauty and danger: Pandora is made attractive, but her arrival marks the spread of suffering among mortals.
Prometheus is sometimes named in answers because his fire myth immediately precedes Pandora’s in the wider story. Hephaestus, however, is the craftsman associated with making Pandora. These roles should be kept separate: Prometheus gives fire, Zeus commands, and Hephaestus shapes.
