Theogony is the ancient Greek poem, besides Works and Days, that mentions Pandora’s creation in a shorter account.
The poem is attributed to Hesiod and presents a genealogy and history of the Greek gods. Near its discussion of Prometheus and Zeus, it refers to the creation of woman as part of Zeus’s punishment of humanity. The account is brief and does not contain the complete opening-vessel episode found in Works and Days.
Works and Days supplies the fuller narrative, including Pandora’s gifts, the sealed container, and the release of troubles. Because both poems are associated with Hesiod, they are central sources for understanding how the myth developed in early Greek literature.
Theogony is not an epic adventure like Homer’s Iliad or Odyssey. It is primarily a cosmological poem, tracing divine origins and succession. That difference explains why its reference to Pandora is compressed rather than told as a complete standalone story.
