In Pandora's creation myth, which god shaped her body from earth?

In Pandora’s creation myth, Hephaestus shaped her body from earth.

Hephaestus was the Olympian god of fire, metalworking, craftsmanship, and the forge. Zeus instructed him to form Pandora, making the episode an example of the god’s skill as a divine artisan. The material used was earth, which Hephaestus fashioned into a human-like figure.

Pandora’s later identity was completed by gifts or qualities from other gods. Athena taught her crafts, while Aphrodite contributed beauty in the traditional account. Hermes gave her characteristics associated with speech and a deceptive mind. These details emphasize that Pandora was constructed and equipped by the divine community.

Hephaestus is sometimes confused with Prometheus because both figures are linked with fire. Prometheus, however, is the Titan who stole fire for humanity; Hephaestus is the divine smith who made Pandora.
