In the myth of Pandora, Hermes delivered her to Epimetheus.
Hermes serves as Zeus’s messenger and escorts Pandora to the human world in the traditional account. Pandora is then accepted by Epimetheus, the Titan associated with afterthought and the brother of Prometheus. Prometheus had warned Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus ignored that warning.
The episode emphasizes the contrast between the brothers’ names and qualities. Prometheus is linked with forethought, while Epimetheus is linked with thinking afterward. Pandora’s arrival turns that contrast into part of the myth’s explanation for how disaster enters human life.
Hermes is sometimes incorrectly identified as Pandora’s creator because he participates in her delivery and contributes attributes in some summaries. Hesiod instead assigns creation to Hephaestus and transportation to Hermes. The messenger’s role is therefore specific and separate from the making of Pandora.
