Athena taught Pandora textile skills in Hesiod’s account.
Pandora is described as receiving contributions from several gods, and Athena’s contribution is associated with weaving or textile craftsmanship. This detail fits Athena’s wider mythological role as a goddess of practical intelligence, skilled work, and crafts.
Pandora’s creation is not attributed to a single god working alone. Zeus commands the plan, Hephaestus forms her from earth, and other deities provide qualities or adornments. The distribution of gifts makes Pandora a deliberately constructed figure whose attributes come from the Olympian divine order.
A common mix-up is to assign every feminine skill in Greek mythology to Aphrodite or Hera. In this story, Aphrodite is associated with beauty and desire, while Athena’s contribution is practical craft. The exact wording varies among translations, but weaving is the stable identification.
