In Pandora’s Box mythology, Pandora’s husband is the Titan Epimetheus. Hesiod’s Works and Days identifies Pandora as marrying Epimetheus, whose name means “afterthought” or “hindsight.”
Epimetheus is the brother of Prometheus, the Titan associated with foresight and with giving fire to humanity. Prometheus warns Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus ignores the warning and takes Pandora into his household. This decision sets the vessel episode in motion.
Modern retellings sometimes make Pandora the wife of Prometheus, but that is not Hesiod’s account. The contrast between the brothers’ names is deliberate: Prometheus represents thinking ahead, while Epimetheus acts and understands consequences afterward. Their roles help explain why the warning fails in the story.
