In Hesiod’s Works and Days, Hephaestus is said to have shaped Pandora’s body.
Zeus ordered Hephaestus, the divine smith and craftsman, to make Pandora from earth. The passage describes her as being fashioned as a woman, establishing her artificial creation rather than presenting her as born from another deity.
Other gods then contributed qualities or adornments. Athena clothed her, Aphrodite gave her charm, and Hermes supplied deceptive speech and a deceitful character. These details make Pandora a collective divine construction, even though Hephaestus performs the physical shaping.
A common mix-up is assigning Pandora’s creation directly to Zeus. Zeus commands the work and controls the punishment, but Hesiod specifically names Hephaestus as the craftsman who molds her.
