In which ancient Greek poem does Hesiod explain that Pandora brought evils to humanity?

Hesiod explains that Pandora brought evils to humanity in Works and Days. The poem presents her creation and the opening of the storage jar as part of Zeus’s punishment of humankind.

Works and Days is not only a mythological poem. It also gives advice about farming, sailing, justice, work, and the proper organization of the year. The Pandora episode appears within a broader argument about why people must labor and live responsibly in a difficult world.

Hesiod also discusses Pandora in Theogony, but Works and Days provides the fuller narrative of the jar and the release of troubles. This distinction matters because modern summaries sometimes cite Theogony as the source of every detail. The two poems are related yet do not present identical levels of description.
