In Hesiod’s story of Pandora, Athena clothed Pandora after her creation.
Hesiod describes Pandora as a divinely fashioned woman made at Zeus’s command. Several gods contribute gifts or qualities to her preparation, and Athena, the goddess associated with wisdom, warfare, and crafts, gives her clothing. This detail appears in Hesiod’s Theogony and Works and Days, the earliest surviving literary accounts of the myth.
The clothing episode is part of a larger presentation of Pandora as a carefully constructed figure rather than an ordinary human birth. Other gods provide adornment, charm, speech, and deceptive qualities. The myth therefore links her appearance to a coordinated act by the Olympian gods.
A common mix-up is assigning the clothing to Aphrodite, who gives Pandora beauty and desire in some summaries. Athena’s role is specifically the making of her garments and adornment through textile craft.
