Zeus did not create woman. In Greek mythology, the creation of woman is attributed to Hephaestus, the god of fire and metalworking, at the behest of Zeus.
Here's the story:
- Pandora's Creation: Zeus instructed Hephaestus to create a woman from clay, infusing her with beauty and charm. Each god contributed a gift to Pandora, including intelligence, persuasion, and deceit. This woman, named Pandora, was given a jar containing all the evils of the world.
- Pandora's Curse: Driven by curiosity, Pandora opened the jar, releasing all the evils into the world, leaving only hope behind.
While Zeus commanded the creation of Pandora, it was Hephaestus who physically crafted her. This story serves as an explanation for the presence of evil in the world and the inherent nature of women, according to ancient Greek beliefs.
