In Hesiod’s account, Prometheus is the Titan punished alongside Pandora’s story for stealing fire.
Prometheus is a Titan associated with forethought and with humanity’s possession of fire. Hesiod says he deceived Zeus during a sacrificial division and later stole fire for humans. Zeus responds by arranging Pandora’s creation and by punishing Prometheus himself. The two punishments belong to the same mythic sequence.
Later Greek and Roman writers develop Prometheus into a more sympathetic champion of humanity, especially in the tragedy Prometheus Bound, traditionally attributed to Aeschylus. Hesiod’s treatment is harsher: Prometheus is a dangerous challenger of Zeus, and Pandora is part of the resulting punishment. Epimetheus, whose name means “afterthought,” is Prometheus’s brother and Pandora’s husband, but he is not the Titan who steals the fire.
