In Greek mythology, who was Pandora’s father according to Hesiod’s account?

In Greek mythology, Pandora has no named father in Hesiod’s account. Hesiod presents her as a woman fashioned by Hephaestus from earth at Zeus’s command, rather than as the biological daughter of a named mortal or god.

This detail distinguishes Pandora from many mythological figures whose parentage is carefully recorded. Her creation is collective and artificial: Zeus orders the project, Hephaestus shapes her, and other gods provide qualities or gifts. The story’s emphasis is on divine manufacture and punishment, not ancestry.

Later artists and retellers sometimes invent family relationships or treat Zeus as Pandora’s father because he commissions her creation. That is a reasonable modern shorthand but not Hesiod’s stated genealogy. In the earliest surviving literary accounts, her origin is a divine construction with no named biological father.
