In Hesiod’s Pandora story, which Titan is Pandora’s brother-in-law?

Prometheus is Pandora’s brother-in-law in Hesiod’s Pandora story.

Prometheus is the brother of Epimetheus, Pandora’s husband, making him her brother-in-law in the family relationships used by later summaries of the myth. Prometheus is a Titan associated with intelligence, craft, and foresight, while Epimetheus represents hindsight or afterthought.

The family connection matters because Prometheus is central to the events leading to Pandora’s creation. He deceives Zeus and steals fire for humanity, prompting Zeus to punish both Prometheus and mortals. Zeus then has Pandora made and sends her to Epimetheus, despite Prometheus’s warning.

Prometheus is not Pandora’s husband or father. Epimetheus occupies the husband role, while Zeus orders Pandora’s creation. Different ancient sources vary in genealogical detail, but the sibling relationship between Prometheus and Epimetheus is a standard part of the myth.
