In Hesiod’s Works and Days, Pandora’s name was Pandora before Zeus gave her to Epimetheus.
The name Pandora is usually translated as “all-gifted” or “gifted by all,” reflecting the myth’s claim that the gods supplied her with different qualities and adornments. Hesiod presents her as the first woman, created after Prometheus secretly gave fire to humanity.
The question involves a modern wording distinction: Pandora is not given a separate birth name in Hesiod’s account. “Pandora” is the name attached to her creation and presentation to Epimetheus. Later retellings sometimes treat the name as a title or explain it through different translations.
Pandora’s story appears most fully in Works and Days, while Hesiod’s Theogony gives a shorter account of the creation of woman. The familiar English phrase “Pandora’s box” also differs from the ancient Greek vessel, which was a storage jar.
