In Greek mythology, which Titan became Pandora’s husband?

In Greek mythology, Epimetheus became Pandora’s husband.

Hesiod’s Works and Days presents Pandora as a woman created by the gods and sent to Epimetheus, whose name means “afterthought” or “hindsight.” Epimetheus accepted her even though his brother Prometheus had warned him not to accept gifts from Zeus. Pandora later opened the jar that released suffering into the world.

The names of the brothers create a deliberate contrast. Prometheus is associated with forethought, while Epimetheus represents thinking after an event has happened. Their opposing qualities help explain why the warning failed: Epimetheus acted first and understood the danger later.

Modern retellings often call Pandora Epimetheus’s wife, although Hesiod’s account focuses more on the divine gift and the jar than on a developed romance. Pandora is also sometimes described as the first woman, a description strongly associated with later summaries of the myth. The story belongs to Greek mythology’s explanation of why human life includes labor, illness, and other hardships.
