In Hesiod’s account of Pandora, which work contains the fullest version of her story?

In Hesiod’s account of Pandora, Works and Days contains the fullest version of her story. The poem presents Pandora in the context of justice, labor, farming, and the difficult conditions of human life.

Hesiod also refers to Pandora in the Theogony, but the Works and Days passage gives more detail about her creation, the gifts supplied by the gods, her marriage to Epimetheus, and the opening of the vessel.

The poem is usually dated to the late eighth or early seventh century BCE. It is not an epic adventure like Homer’s Iliad or Odyssey; instead, it is a didactic poem offering practical and moral instruction to Hesiod’s brother Perses.

The title is often written as Works and Days or Works & Days. Ovid’s Metamorphoses includes many Greek myths, but it is a later Roman work and is not the primary ancient source for the Pandora episode.
