In Hesiod’s Works and Days, whom did Pandora marry?

In Hesiod’s Works and Days, Pandora married Epimetheus.

Epimetheus was the brother of Prometheus, whose name is commonly interpreted as “afterthought,” in contrast with Prometheus, or “forethought.” The contrast reflects their mythic roles: Prometheus is associated with planning and clever anticipation, while Epimetheus is associated with acting and understanding consequences afterward.

Zeus sent Pandora to Epimetheus as part of the punishment connected with Prometheus’s theft of fire. Although Prometheus warned his brother not to accept gifts from Zeus, Epimetheus received Pandora. In the subsequent tradition, Pandora’s opening of the jar connects their household with the arrival of suffering among humans.

Later Greek genealogical traditions make Pandora and Epimetheus the parents of Pyrrha. Pyrrha and Deucalion survive a great flood in another myth and become ancestors of a renewed human race. Pandora should not be confused with Pandora, a daughter of Deucalion and Pyrrha mentioned in later genealogical material.
