Which Greek mythological figure is Pandora’s brother-in-law?

Prometheus is Pandora’s brother-in-law in the traditional Greek myth. Pandora marries Epimetheus, and Prometheus is Epimetheus’s brother.

The relationship is important because the Pandora story follows Prometheus’s theft of fire for humanity. Zeus responds by ordering the creation of Pandora, making her arrival part of the punishment connected with Prometheus’s defiance. Prometheus also warns Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus accepts Pandora.

Prometheus and Pandora are not spouses, despite their close connection in modern retellings. Prometheus is a Titan associated with foresight and with helping humans, while Pandora is the divinely fashioned woman whose story explains the presence of suffering. Their stories are joined through Epimetheus and Zeus’s punishment, not through a direct marriage.
