In Hesiod’s Works and Days, Athena gives Pandora her distinctive clothing. The goddess dresses the newly made woman as part of the divine preparation for her arrival among humans.
Hesiod describes Pandora as a constructed and adorned figure rather than as a naturally born character. Different gods contribute different gifts: Athena’s role is associated with clothing and craftsmanship, while other deities provide beauty, charm, speech, or deceptive qualities. This collective fashioning supports the meaning of Pandora’s name, “all-gifted.”
The detail is easy to confuse with the goddess who supplies beauty or desire. Aphrodite is connected with beauty in many summaries, but Athena is the deity specifically associated with dressing Pandora in Hesiod’s account. Later artistic versions may rearrange or expand the gifts, so the answer depends on the ancient literary source named in the question.
