In Hesiod’s Pandora myth, Hermes brought Pandora to Epimetheus.
Hermes was the Olympian messenger and a god associated with travel, boundaries, trade, and communication. After the gods prepared Pandora and gave her their gifts, Zeus sent Hermes to deliver her to Epimetheus, the brother of Prometheus.
The delivery is important because Epimetheus had been warned not to accept gifts from Zeus. Prometheus, whose name is associated with forethought, understood the danger of accepting a divine offering. Epimetheus, whose name is associated with afterthought, accepted Pandora despite that warning.
Hesiod’s account gives Hermes an additional role beyond simple delivery: he is associated with giving Pandora a deceptive or misleading mind and speech. Modern summaries sometimes reduce the scene to “Hermes opened the box,” but the original myth assigns the opening to Pandora herself.
