In the Pandora myth, which Titan’s brother became Pandora’s husband?

In the Pandora myth, Epimetheus became Pandora’s husband.

Epimetheus was a Titan and the brother of Prometheus. His name is commonly interpreted as “afterthought,” contrasting with Prometheus, whose name is associated with forethought. In Hesiod’s story, Prometheus warns Epimetheus not to accept a gift from Zeus, but Epimetheus accepts Pandora anyway.

Pandora’s arrival is tied to Zeus’s punishment of humanity after Prometheus stole fire and gave it to people. By placing Pandora with Epimetheus, the myth connects the brothers’ contrasting judgments to the introduction of suffering into human life.

Some later retellings simplify the story by focusing only on Pandora and the container. They may omit Epimetheus entirely, even though his acceptance of Pandora is an important part of Hesiod’s narrative and explains her place among humans.
