In the Pandora myth, which Greek god created Pandora at Zeus's command?

In the Pandora myth, Hephaestus created Pandora at Zeus's command.

Hesiod's Works and Days describes Zeus ordering Hephaestus, the divine smith, to make a woman from earth. Other gods then contribute qualities or gifts: Athena teaches her crafts, Aphrodite gives grace, and Hermes gives a deceptive or crafty character in the ancient account. The details vary across translations and later retellings.

This creation scene connects Pandora to the myth of Prometheus. After Prometheus steals fire for humanity, Zeus responds by arranging a punishment that affects humans as well. Pandora becomes part of that larger explanation for why human life includes labor, disease, and suffering.

Hephaestus is especially fitting as the maker because Greek mythology associates him with metalworking, craftsmanship, and divine construction. He is also known by the Roman name Vulcan, but Hephaestus is the canonical Greek answer here.
