In Greek mythology, Pandora’s husband is Epimetheus.
Epimetheus is the brother of Prometheus, whose name means “foresight,” while Epimetheus means “afterthought” or “hindsight.” Hesiod uses this contrast to characterize the brothers: Prometheus warns against accepting gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus accepts Pandora after she is sent to humanity.
Pandora’s arrival forms part of Zeus’s punishment after Prometheus steals fire for humans. Epimetheus ignores or fails to follow his brother’s warning, and Pandora becomes connected with the release of evils from her container. Hesiod’s story does not present Prometheus as Pandora’s husband.
The names are easy to confuse because both brothers belong to the same mythic episode and are children of the Titan Iapetus. Their contrasting names are a deliberate feature of the story, emphasizing foresight versus belated realization.
