Which Greek god was said to fashion Pandora from earth?

Hephaestus was said to fashion Pandora from earth in the myth of Pandora’s box.

Hephaestus is the Greek god of fire, metalworking, craftsmanship, and the forge. In Hesiod’s Works and Days, Zeus commands him to create Pandora’s physical form from earth. Other gods then contribute qualities, adornments, or abilities.

This division of roles connects the myth to Hephaestus’s traditional identity as a divine craftsman. He is often portrayed as making weapons, armor, and other extraordinary objects for the gods. Pandora’s creation is another example of a living or lifelike figure being produced through divine workmanship.

The myth is sometimes retold as though a single god created every part of Pandora. Hesiod instead gives the event a collaborative structure, with Hephaestus shaping her and several deities adding gifts. The name Pandora reflects that collective contribution.
