In Greek mythology, Pandora’s husband was Epimetheus.
Epimetheus is the Titan associated with hindsight and is the brother of Prometheus. Zeus sends Pandora to him, and Epimetheus accepts her despite Prometheus’s warning not to receive gifts from Zeus. The pairing is central to Hesiod’s explanation of how suffering enters human life.
The name Epimetheus is often contrasted with Prometheus. Prometheus is commonly interpreted as “forethought,” while Epimetheus suggests “afterthought” or thinking afterward. That contrast helps explain the brothers’ actions: Prometheus anticipates danger, whereas Epimetheus recognizes the danger too late.
Pandora’s marriage to Epimetheus is not the same detail as the later story about her daughter Pyrrha. Pyrrha and Deucalion belong to the next generation and survive the flood tradition. Keeping these relationships separate prevents one of the most frequent family-tree mix-ups in the myth.
