In which Hesiod work is the fullest surviving account of Pandora’s jar found?

The fullest surviving account of Pandora’s jar is found in Hesiod’s Works and Days.

Works and Days is an archaic Greek didactic poem concerned with farming, justice, labor, and the conditions of human life. Its Pandora passage explains how troubles entered the world after Zeus responded to Prometheus’s actions. The poem includes Pandora’s creation, her arrival at Epimetheus’s home, and the opening of the vessel.

Hesiod also mentions Pandora in Theogony, but that work gives a shorter account focused on her creation and the consequences of Zeus’s plan. The two poems are therefore related but not identical sources.

The title is sometimes written as Works and Days or Works & Days in English editions. It is not the same work as Homer’s Iliad or Ovid’s Metamorphoses, both of which belong to different literary traditions and do not provide the earliest full Pandora narrative.
