In Hesiod’s Works and Days, Athena gives Pandora clothing and teaches her weaving.
Pandora is assembled through contributions from several gods rather than made complete by one deity alone. Hephaestus forms her body from earth, Athena gives her clothing and skill in crafts, Aphrodite provides beauty and charm, and Hermes contributes deceptive speech and a difficult character in Hesiod’s description.
Athena’s gift suits her broader identity as a goddess associated with wisdom, practical skill, crafts, and warfare. Weaving was a major cultural skill in ancient Greek society, so clothing and textile knowledge make Pandora appear prepared for human social life.
Later summaries often reduce the list of divine gifts or attribute all of Pandora’s qualities to Zeus. The detailed allocation in Hesiod is more specific. Athena is the deity connected with Pandora’s garments and weaving, not Hera or Aphrodite.
