When Pandora was ready, she was taken by Hermes to Epimetheus as a gift from Zeus. Epimetheus looked at the beautiful girl & asked her to remove her veil so that he could better admire her lovely face & he asked her to remove her girdle & white shimmering raiment so that he could appreciate the gifts of the Gods. As he had never seen a woman before. And Pandora grinned & put on an impish smile as she stood naked before him. ↗

And Zeus wisely dodged the responsibility of making such a tough decision,directing that it should be made by Paris of Troy instead. ↗
