In the myth of Pandora’s box, whom did Pandora marry?

In the myth of Pandora’s box, Pandora married Epimetheus.

Epimetheus was a Titan and the brother of Prometheus. Zeus sent Pandora to him after the conflict involving Prometheus and humanity. Although Prometheus warned Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus, Epimetheus took Pandora as his wife.

The marriage places Pandora’s famous vessel within a broader myth about the relationship between gods, Titans, and human beings. Pandora is not simply an isolated character who finds a mysterious box; she enters the story as a divinely created bride and as part of Zeus’s punishment.

Epimetheus is frequently confused with Prometheus because both names appear together in the same myth. Prometheus is the brother associated with foresight and the warning, whereas Epimetheus is the husband who accepts Pandora. Keeping those roles separate resolves one of the most common identification errors in summaries of the story.
