In Hesiod’s Works and Days, who receives Pandora as a bride?

In Hesiod’s Works and Days, Epimetheus receives Pandora as a bride.

Epimetheus is a Titan associated with afterthought and is the brother of Prometheus, whose name is associated with forethought. Zeus sends Pandora to Epimetheus after Prometheus steals fire and gives it to humans. Although Prometheus warns his brother not to accept gifts from Zeus, Epimetheus accepts Pandora.

The marriage places Pandora in a household where the jar becomes central to the story. Hesiod does not describe a romantic courtship; the episode functions as part of Zeus’s punishment and as an explanation for the troubles affecting human life.

Prometheus and Epimetheus are often confused because both belong to the same Titan family. Prometheus is the fire-bringer and adviser, while Epimetheus is the recipient of Pandora. Later mythology also connects Pandora and Epimetheus with Pyrrha, their daughter in some traditions.
