Aphrodite gives Pandora beauty in the creation story told by Hesiod. In the myth, Pandora is assembled through contributions from several gods, and Aphrodite’s role is to provide physical grace and attractiveness.
The account appears in Hesiod’s Works and Days, where Zeus orders Hephaestus to create Pandora as part of his response to Prometheus and humanity. Other gods add different qualities: Athena teaches or dresses her, Hermes gives her speech and a deceptive character, and the Graces and Seasons contribute adornment in the poem’s presentation.
Retellings often compress these contributions into the phrase “all-gifted,” making it sound as though one deity gave Pandora every attribute. The ancient story instead emphasizes a coordinated divine construction. Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty, so her gift fits her traditional mythological sphere.
