In Greek mythology, which god made Pandora’s golden crown?

In Greek mythology, Hephaestus made Pandora’s golden crown.

Hesiod’s Theogony describes Hephaestus, the divine smith, fashioning a crown of gold for Pandora. The crown is one detail in a larger creation scene in which the gods collectively prepare Pandora as a gift for humanity. Hephaestus is also associated with making Pandora’s physical form in the mythic tradition, but the crown is a separate crafted item.

This episode reflects Hephaestus’s standard role in Greek mythology as maker of remarkable divine objects. His famous creations include armor, weapons, and elaborate works for the Olympian gods.

Later retellings often compress the story into a simple statement that Zeus created Pandora. The older sources instead emphasize cooperation among deities, with different gods contributing clothing, ornaments, beauty, speech, and other qualities.
