In the Greek myth of Pandora’s box, Hermes delivered Pandora to Epimetheus. Hesiod’s account places Hermes among the gods involved in bringing Pandora to the Titan after her creation and adornment.
Hermes is the messenger and herald of the Greek gods, so his role as the carrier or presenter of Zeus’s divinely constructed gift fits his traditional function. The story also assigns Hermes other duties connected with Pandora, including giving her a name and contributing a deceptive or crafty disposition.
These details are often compressed in popular summaries, which may say only that Zeus sent Pandora. Zeus does command the broader plan, but the narrative involves several gods with separate functions. Identifying Hermes as the deliverer distinguishes the messenger’s role from Hephaestus’s role as maker and Zeus’s role as commander.
