Hesiod describes Pandora as the first woman fashioned for humanity. His Works and Days gives the fullest early account of her creation, arrival, and connection with the release of troubles.
Hesiod was an early Greek poet traditionally dated to around the late eighth or early seventh century BCE. His mythological works focus heavily on the relationships among gods, humans, labor, justice, and the origins of suffering. Pandora’s story appears within that broader explanation of the human condition.
Homer is a common wrong answer because the Iliad and Odyssey are the best-known early Greek epics. However, Pandora is chiefly associated with Hesiodic poetry, especially Works and Days. Pindar and Aristophanes belong to later periods and are not the primary ancient source for this creation story.
Later writers and artists expanded the story in many directions, but Hesiod remains the key source for the earliest surviving literary versions. His two accounts, in Theogony and Works and Days, do not present exactly the same amount of detail.
