Abstract: HE PANDORA NARRATIVE in the Theogonia and Opera is one of the most discussed elements of the Hesiodic corpus; one need only consult Blümer‘s massive bibliography to see the interest that Pandora has drawn, particularly in the past forty years.1 While many aspects of the Hesiodic corpus are open to dispute, the communis opinio about Pandora is well expressed by West: "Hesiod plainly conceives her, with her various feminine characteristics, as being herself the final, unanswerable affliction imposed by Zeus on man."2
