In Greek mythology, whom does Pandora marry after the gods create her?

In Greek mythology, Pandora marries Epimetheus after the gods create her.

Epimetheus is a Titan and the brother of Prometheus. His name is commonly understood as relating to hindsight or “afterthought,” contrasting with Prometheus, whose name is associated with forethought. That contrast helps explain Epimetheus’s role: despite his brother’s warning, he accepts Pandora.

Prometheus advises Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus disregards the warning. Pandora then becomes associated with the jar that releases evils into the world. In Hesiod’s version, the story is part of Zeus’s punishment of humanity following Prometheus’s theft of fire.

A common mix-up is to identify Prometheus as Pandora’s husband because he is the better-known figure in the surrounding myth. Prometheus is her brother-in-law, not her spouse. Another modern misunderstanding comes from calling the container a box; ancient versions describe a pithos, a large jar or storage vessel.
