Athena gave Pandora her clothing in Hesiod’s account of her creation. The goddess associated with wisdom, warfare, and crafts is described as dressing Pandora and teaching her handiwork.
Pandora’s creation is presented as a collective divine project rather than the work of one maker. Hephaestus fashions her from earth at Zeus’s command, while other gods provide qualities, ornaments, or abilities. Athena’s contribution gives Pandora a civilized and visually prepared appearance before she is sent into the human world.
Ancient versions do not always list the divine contributions in exactly the same way, because mythic details can vary across texts and translations. The association of Athena with clothing and craftsmanship is, however, part of the standard Hesiodic description.
This detail is distinct from the question of who shaped Pandora’s body. Hephaestus is connected with that act, while Athena’s role concerns clothing and skill. Separating the gods’ contributions helps avoid treating Pandora as the product of a single deity.
