In Hesiod’s account, Hermes led Pandora to Epimetheus as his bride.
After the gods completed Pandora’s preparation, Zeus sent her to Epimetheus, Prometheus’s brother. Hermes escorted her and presented her to him. Epimetheus had been warned by Prometheus never to accept a gift from Zeus, but he ignored that warning and welcomed Pandora into his home.
Hermes has several roles in the episode. He is the messenger who delivers Pandora, and Hesiod also associates him with giving her a deceptive or persuasive mind and speech. Those details explain why the myth’s punishment is presented as carefully engineered by the gods rather than as a random accident.
Modern retellings often say simply that Zeus sent Pandora to Epimetheus. That summary is broadly correct, but the named escort in Hesiod’s narrative is Hermes. The distinction matters because the myth assigns separate tasks to many gods involved in Pandora’s construction.
