In Greek mythology, whom did Pandora marry after arriving among humans?

In Greek mythology, Pandora married Epimetheus after arriving among humans.

Epimetheus was the Titan associated with hindsight and was Prometheus’s brother. Prometheus warned him not to accept gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus accepted Pandora, who had been created and equipped by the gods. Their marriage connects Pandora’s story with the myth explaining the origin of human troubles.

Pandora is often described in modern retellings as opening a box, but the earliest Greek account describes a pithos, or large storage jar. Hesiod’s Works and Days presents her arrival as part of Zeus’s punishment for Prometheus’s theft of fire. Epimetheus is therefore not merely a secondary name: he is Pandora’s husband in the central literary tradition.

Some later mythological genealogies also make Pandora the mother of Pyrrha, who becomes important in the Greek flood story. Epimetheus should not be confused with Prometheus, whose name is associated with forethought.
