Zeus sends Pandora to Epimetheus in Greek mythology.
In Hesiod’s Works and Days, Zeus directs the gods to create Pandora after Prometheus has taken fire for humanity. The plan is presented as a punishment connected with Prometheus’s defiance. Once Pandora has received her divine gifts, Hermes leads or sends her to Epimetheus, who accepts her into his household.
This sequence creates a common source of confusion. Zeus orders the overall scheme, while Hermes performs specific tasks, including giving Pandora her name and taking her to Epimetheus. Hephaestus is associated with shaping her from earth, but he is not the god who dispatches her to Epimetheus.
The myth is part of Hesiod’s explanation for why human beings experience labor and suffering. It is not the same story as the later Christian account of Eve and the forbidden fruit, although both have sometimes been compared.
