Pandrosus ("the all-dewy one"), also spelled Pandrosos, is a figure in
Greek mythology, and a daughter of
Cecrops (or, according to
Pausanias, of
Actaeus).According to
Apollodorus,
Hephaestus attempted to rape
Athena but was unsuccessful. His semen fell on the ground, impregnating
Gaia, who gave birth to
Erichthonius, the future king of
Athens. Gaia did not want the infant, so she gave it to Athena. Athena in turn put the baby in a small box and gave it to the three sisters,
Herse, Pandrosus, and
Aglaulus, warning them to never open it. Aglaulus and Herse opened the box despite these instructions, went insane at the sight, and threw themselves off the
Acropolis.
