Which Greek Titan was Pandora’s husband in classical mythology?

The Greek Titan who was Pandora’s husband in classical mythology was Epimetheus. In Hesiod’s story, Pandora is sent to Epimetheus after Zeus has arranged her creation as part of the punishment connected with Prometheus and the theft of fire.

Epimetheus’s name is commonly interpreted as “afterthought,” contrasting with his brother Prometheus, whose name is associated with forethought. That contrast shapes his role: Prometheus warns him not to accept gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus accepts Pandora when she arrives.

Pandora and Epimetheus are often described as the first human couple in Greek mythic tradition, although the exact status of Pandora differs because she is fashioned by the gods rather than born in an ordinary human way. Their union connects the divine punishment to the beginning of human family life in Hesiod’s narrative.

Epimetheus is sometimes incorrectly identified as Pandora’s brother because he and Prometheus are brothers. The relationship is different: Prometheus and Epimetheus are siblings, while Pandora is Epimetheus’s wife. Pyrrha is later associated with them as their daughter.
