In Hesiod’s Pandora myth, which Titan became Pandora’s husband?

In Hesiod’s Pandora myth, Epimetheus became Pandora’s husband.

Epimetheus was a Titan and the brother of Prometheus. His name is commonly explained as meaning “afterthought,” contrasting with Prometheus, whose name is associated with forethought. In Hesiod’s Works and Days, Prometheus warned Epimetheus not to accept a gift from Zeus, but Epimetheus accepted Pandora anyway.

Pandora’s marriage to Epimetheus is part of Hesiod’s explanation for why suffering entered human life. Pandora opened the container entrusted to her, releasing evils into the world. The myth does not describe Epimetheus as the creator of the container, and he is not the Titan who stole fire. Those roles belong to other parts of the story. Later retellings often simplify the myth by focusing only on Pandora, but the pairing of Pandora and Epimetheus is central to Hesiod’s account.
