In the myth of Pandora’s box, which Greek god gave fire to humanity?

In the myth of Pandora’s box, the Greek god-like Titan who gave fire to humanity was Prometheus.

Prometheus is a Titan best known for championing humans against Zeus. In Hesiod’s account, he deceived Zeus during a sacrifice and later stole fire for mortals, enabling human crafts and civilization. Zeus responded by ordering the creation of Pandora as a punishment for humanity.

The Pandora story appears in Hesiod’s Works and Days, while Prometheus’s theft of fire is also told in other ancient traditions. The two myths became closely connected in later retellings, even though their details vary among classical sources.

Prometheus is sometimes called a god in casual descriptions, but he is more precisely a Titan, a divine being from an older generation than the Olympian gods. His name is associated with forethought, contrasting with his brother Epimetheus, whose name suggests afterthought.
