Which ancient Greek work includes the story of Pandora opening the container of evils?

Works and Days includes the story of Pandora opening the container of evils.

Works and Days is a didactic poem attributed to Hesiod and generally dated to the archaic period of Greek literature. Its subjects include farming, justice, labor, seasonal timing, and moral instruction. The Pandora narrative appears within that broader discussion of the human condition and the consequences of divine action.

The Iliad and the Odyssey are major early Greek epics, but neither is the source of the complete Pandora-and-jar episode. The story’s association with Works and Days matters because later retellings often detach it from Hesiod’s practical and moral poem. The work is also the source that preserves the detail of hope remaining in the container.
