In the Pandora myth, Athena is the Greek deity said to have taught Pandora weaving. Hesiod’s Works and Days describes Pandora as receiving gifts and instruction from several gods, including skill in handicraft from Athena.
The detail is part of the myth’s wider creation scene. Zeus orders the gods to make a woman who will be presented to humanity, and each divine contribution gives Pandora a particular quality. Athena’s association with weaving is consistent with her broader role in Greek mythology as a patron of crafts, practical intelligence, and skilled work.
Other gods contribute different qualities in Hesiod’s account. Aphrodite gives charm, while Hermes supplies deceptive speech and a difficult character. This division of gifts is why identifying the giver matters: the myth does not attribute every feature of Pandora to one deity or describe her as created by Athena alone.
