In which Hesiod poem does the detailed story of Pandora releasing troubles appear?

The detailed story of Pandora releasing troubles appears in Hesiod’s Works and Days.

Works and Days is a didactic Greek poem concerned with justice, farming, labor, and the difficult conditions of human life. Its account of Pandora explains how evils came to humanity after Zeus’s conflict with Prometheus. Pandora opens the container, and the escaping troubles spread through the world; hope remains associated with the vessel at the end.

Hesiod also mentions Pandora in Theogony, another major early Greek poem, but Theogony does not provide the same full jar narrative. This is why identifying the poem matters. The two works are often discussed together because they preserve related mythological material, yet they serve different purposes and contain different levels of detail. Works and Days is the key source for the episode most people mean when they refer to Pandora’s box.
