Hesiod describes Pandora’s creation most fully in Works and Days.
Hesiod was an early Greek poet generally dated to the late eighth or early seventh century BCE. Works and Days combines advice about farming and justice with myths explaining human hardship, including the stories of Prometheus and Pandora.
Hesiod also discusses Pandora in the Theogony, but Works and Days supplies the longer narrative. It describes the gods contributing to her creation and presents her arrival as part of Zeus’s response to Prometheus’s actions.
Pandora is sometimes treated as though her story were primarily Homeric because Homer is the most famous early Greek poet. The surviving Homeric epics do not provide the main version of this myth. For the canonical ancient narrative, Hesiod is the key source.
