Hermes bestowed the attribute of curiosity upon Pandora, which played a crucial role in the myth surrounding her. This curiosity led her to open the forbidden box (or jar) given to her, releasing all the evils into the world while leaving hope trapped inside. This act symbolizes the dual nature of human experience—where curiosity can lead to both knowledge and suffering.
Hermes put in Pandora a shameless mind and a deceitful nature at the orders of Zeus. Hermes also gave her speech and her name.

Hesiod writes: And in her breast, Hermes the messenger, created lies; deceiving words, a deceitful heart.
The earliest literary version of the story of Pandora is Hesiod's 'Work and Days'. In this version he gives this first woman a name and details the gods and goddesses who bestow on Pandora different qualities. These are Aphrodite, Hermes, Zeus, Athena, Demeter, Athena, Poseidon, Hera, the Horae, and the Charites. Hera gave Pandora curiosity.
It wasn't Hermes the first mortal woman was given to! it was Pormetheus (right it down) and her name was Pandora
The lyre Hermes made.
Hermes gifted Pandora a set of beautiful and enticing abilities, including charm and persuasion, which were meant to complement the gifts given to her by the gods. He also presented her with a jar (often misinterpreted as a box) containing all manner of evils and misfortunes for humanity. This jar would later be opened by Pandora, unleashing these troubles into the world. Ultimately, Hermes' gift highlighted both the allure and the dangers of curiosity and temptation.
