In the myth of Pandora’s box, which Titan was Pandora’s husband?

In the myth of Pandora’s box, Pandora’s husband is the Titan Epimetheus.

Epimetheus is the brother of Prometheus, whose name is associated with foresight. Epimetheus is commonly interpreted as representing hindsight or afterthought, creating a deliberate contrast between the brothers. Despite Prometheus’s warning not to accept gifts from Zeus, Epimetheus accepted Pandora.

Pandora was sent to Epimetheus as part of Zeus’s punishment after Prometheus gave fire to humanity. Hesiod’s account says that Epimetheus later realized the danger, but only after Pandora had opened the vessel and released its contents.

Some retellings say Pandora married Epimetheus immediately, while others focus more on the gift and the jar. The essential relationship remains stable in the classical story: Pandora is linked to Epimetheus, not Prometheus.
