In Greek mythology, which god made Pandora’s human body from clay?

In Greek mythology, Hephaestus made Pandora’s human body from clay.

Hesiod describes Zeus ordering Hephaestus, the divine smith, to shape Pandora from earth. Other gods then contributed qualities or gifts, including beauty, charm, skill, and persuasive speech. Her name is commonly explained as meaning “all-gifted” or “all-giving,” reflecting the gifts supplied by the gods.

Hephaestus is especially suitable for the task because he is the Olympian craftsman who fashions objects, armor, and figures for the gods. Pandora’s creation is therefore presented as an act of divine manufacture rather than ordinary birth. The myth is sometimes simplified into the claim that Hephaestus created Pandora alone, but Hesiod’s account distributes her attributes among several gods. The story also differs from later visual art, where Pandora may be shown emerging from the earth or being presented ceremonially to the gods.
