In Greek mythology, whom did Pandora marry after being sent to Earth?

In Greek mythology, Pandora married Epimetheus after being sent to Earth.

Epimetheus was a Titan associated with hindsight and was the brother of Prometheus. Zeus sent Pandora to him as part of a punishment directed at humanity after Prometheus stole fire for mortals. Prometheus had warned Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus accepted Pandora anyway.

The marriage connects Pandora’s story with the earlier conflict between Zeus and Prometheus. Pandora is not usually described as a goddess; Hesiod presents her as a woman fashioned by the gods and endowed with distinctive gifts. Her arrival introduces the famous jar-opening episode.

A common mix-up is confusing Epimetheus with Prometheus. Prometheus is the Titan who foresaw danger and opposed Zeus’s plan, while Epimetheus accepted Pandora and later became her husband. The name Epimetheus is often interpreted as relating to afterthought or hindsight.
