In Greek mythology, which Titan accepted Pandora into his household?

In Greek mythology, Epimetheus accepted Pandora into his household.

Hesiod presents Epimetheus as the brother of Prometheus and the recipient of Zeus’s gift. Prometheus had warned him not to accept gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus did not follow that advice. Pandora consequently entered his household before opening the jar that released the world’s troubles.

The name Epimetheus means “afterthought,” contrasting with Prometheus, whose name means “forethought.” This wordplay is a major structural feature of the myth. Epimetheus acts after the warning has been given, while Prometheus represents anticipation and caution. Their relationship gives the story a memorable moral and linguistic contrast.

Epimetheus is sometimes confused with Prometheus because both are Titans associated with early humanity. Prometheus, however, is the fire-bringer and adviser; Epimetheus is Pandora’s husband or household companion in the familiar account. The myth uses their different roles to connect divine punishment with human fallibility.
