What is Pandora’s Greek name written in Greek letters?

Pandora’s Greek name is written Πανδώρα, with the ancient Greek form commonly transliterated as Pandōra.

The name is usually explained from Greek elements meaning “all-gifted” or “all-giving.” Hesiod’s story emphasizes that the gods collectively contributed gifts, abilities, or adornments to the woman created under Zeus’s order. The name therefore fits the myth’s presentation of Pandora as a figure assembled through divine contributions.

Greek spelling and transliteration can vary by system. Modern Greek writes the name Πανδώρα, while scholarly transliteration may mark the long vowel with an omega, producing Pandōra. English normally uses the unmarked form Pandora.

Pandora should not be confused with similarly famous figures such as Athena, Ariadne, or Persephone. In the Hesiodic narrative she is a distinct first woman whose arrival is connected with the release of suffering into human life.
