Which Titan’s theft of fire led to Zeus sending Pandora to humanity?

Prometheus’s theft of fire led to Zeus sending Pandora to humanity.

Prometheus is a Titan associated with foresight, craft, and the protection of humankind. In Greek myth, he takes fire from the gods and gives it to mortals, enabling technology, cooking, and civilization in later interpretations. Hesiod presents the theft as part of a conflict between Zeus and Prometheus over the division of sacrifices and divine privileges.

Zeus punishes Prometheus directly, while he also devises a punishment for humans. Pandora is created and sent to Prometheus’s brother Epimetheus, bringing the vessel of troubles into the human world. This links the Prometheus and Pandora stories, although they are told as separate episodes within broader mythic traditions.

Prometheus is sometimes called Pandora’s husband, but that is incorrect in the traditional genealogy. Pandora marries Epimetheus. Prometheus is her brother-in-law, a relationship that is distinct from his role as the figure whose fire theft provokes Zeus’s response.
