In Greek mythology, Pandora’s husband was Epimetheus.
Epimetheus was the Titan associated with hindsight and was the brother of Prometheus, whose name means foresight. Prometheus warned him not to accept gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus accepted Pandora when she arrived. Their marriage places Pandora’s story within the wider conflict between Zeus and Prometheus.
Pandora was fashioned by the gods and sent to humanity as part of Zeus’s punishment after Prometheus gave humans fire. In Hesiod’s account, the container is a jar rather than a box; the familiar “box” wording became standard much later through translation and retelling.
Epimetheus is sometimes confused with Prometheus because both Titans are central to the same myth cycle. Prometheus is the defiant fire-bringer, while Epimetheus is the figure who acts first and understands consequences afterward.
