Which Hesiod poem links Pandora’s creation to Prometheus’s theft of fire?

Works and Days links Pandora’s creation to Prometheus’s theft of fire.

In this poem, Prometheus deceives Zeus and later steals fire for humanity. Zeus responds by arranging the creation of Pandora, whom the gods furnish with various gifts before she is sent to Epimetheus. The jar episode follows as part of the explanation for why suffering entered human life.

Theogony also mentions Pandora and the consequences of Prometheus’s actions, but Works and Days gives the connected narrative in a more developed sequence. It is a didactic poem concerned with labor, justice, farming, and the hardships of mortal existence, so the myth functions within a larger reflection on why human life requires effort. The poem is not a modern short story with one canonical title for the container; the later expression “Pandora’s box” comes from translation history.
