Hermes delivered Pandora to Epimetheus in the Greek myth of Pandora.
After the gods create Pandora, Zeus sends her to Epimetheus, the Titan who is associated with afterthought. Hermes acts as the divine messenger and escort in this part of the story. Epimetheus had been warned by his brother Prometheus not to accept gifts from Zeus, yet he accepts Pandora.
This episode establishes the myth’s contrast between the brothers. Prometheus represents forethought and distrust of Zeus, while Epimetheus acts after the fact and accepts the seemingly valuable gift. Pandora’s arrival consequently links the divine punishment to humanity’s later suffering.
The account belongs especially to Hesiod’s Works and Days. Ancient Greek myths often exist in multiple versions, but the Hermes-and-Epimetheus sequence is a central feature of the familiar Pandora narrative. It is separate from the later phrase “opening Pandora’s box,” which describes the consequences of her action.
