In Greek mythology, which man was Pandora sent to marry?

In Greek mythology, Pandora was sent to Epimetheus.

Epimetheus was the brother of Prometheus and belonged to the Titan generation in Greek mythology. His name is often understood in contrast with Prometheus: it is associated with thinking afterward, while Prometheus is associated with forethought. This contrast helps explain the brothers’ different responses to Pandora.

Prometheus warned Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus ignored the warning and received Pandora. In Hesiod’s story, Pandora subsequently opened the storage jar, releasing the troubles that had previously been held inside it. The marriage therefore forms the narrative link between Zeus’s plan and the spread of suffering among humans.

A common mix-up is to identify Prometheus as Pandora’s husband because the two figures appear together in many modern summaries. Prometheus is instead the figure associated with stealing fire for humanity and with Zeus’s punishment of being bound to a rock.
