Which Greek work contains Hesiod’s fuller account of Pandora’s creation and the jar?

Hesiod’s fuller account of Pandora’s creation and the jar appears in Works and Days.

Works and Days is an early Greek didactic poem traditionally attributed to Hesiod. It combines advice about farming, justice, labor, and the organization of human life with mythological stories. Its account of Pandora explains the arrival of troubles among human beings after Zeus’s conflict with Prometheus.

Hesiod also mentions Pandora in the Theogony, but the Works and Days passage provides the more developed narrative of her making, the divine gifts, her marriage to Epimetheus, and the vessel’s opening. The poem is therefore the principal ancient literary source for the familiar Pandora story.

The Iliad and Odyssey are Homeric epics and do not supply the standard Pandora narrative. Modern versions often blend Hesiod’s details with later art, Roman retellings, and popular ideas about curiosity. Identifying Works and Days helps separate the earliest surviving literary account from later adaptations.
