In Hesiod’s account of Pandora, what was the name of her husband?

In Hesiod’s account of Pandora, her husband was Epimetheus.

Epimetheus was the brother of Prometheus and belonged to the Titan generation in Greek mythology. His name is commonly interpreted as “afterthought,” contrasting with Prometheus, whose name is associated with forethought. Zeus sent Pandora to Epimetheus, who accepted her despite Prometheus’s warning not to receive gifts from Zeus.

Pandora later opened the container in the household, releasing the troubles or evils that had been confined within it. The story links Epimetheus’s acceptance of Pandora with his characteristic lack of foresight.

The myth is often misremembered because Prometheus is more prominent in related stories about fire and human beings. Prometheus is Pandora’s brother, not her husband, in Hesiod’s family structure. Epimetheus is the specific figure paired with Pandora in the ancient narrative.
