In the standard Greek myth, which figure was Pandora married to?

In the standard Greek myth, Pandora was married to Epimetheus.

Epimetheus was the brother of Prometheus and is associated with hindsight or afterthought. Prometheus had warned him not to accept gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus accepted Pandora when she arrived. Their pairing links the story’s warning about impulsive acceptance with the consequences that follow.

Pandora’s arrival is part of Zeus’s response to Prometheus’s theft of fire for humanity. Hesiod’s account describes the gods preparing Pandora and sending her into the human community, where she becomes Epimetheus’s wife.

Prometheus and Epimetheus are sometimes confused because both are central to the myth of fire and punishment. Prometheus is the fire-bringer and planner; Epimetheus is the brother who accepts Pandora despite the warning. The distinction is essential to identifying Pandora’s husband.
