In the Greek myth of Pandora, her husband Epimetheus’s divine brother was called Prometheus.
Prometheus and Epimetheus were Titans, and their names create a notable contrast. Prometheus is traditionally interpreted as “forethought,” while Epimetheus is associated with “afterthought” or understanding too late. That contrast helps explain their different responses to Zeus’s gift.
Prometheus had already become humanity’s benefactor in Greek myth. He was said to have stolen fire from Olympus and given it to humans, an act that angered Zeus. In the Pandora story, he also warned Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus, but the warning was ignored.
Pandora herself is not usually described as Prometheus’s wife. She is associated with Epimetheus, while Prometheus belongs to the earlier episode involving fire and human civilization. Later writers and modern retellings sometimes combine several mythic episodes, but the family relationship remains clear in the classical tradition.
