Who was Pandora’s husband in the ancient Greek myth?

Pandora’s husband in the ancient Greek myth was Epimetheus.

Epimetheus was a Titan associated with afterthought and hindsight. His name contrasts with that of his brother Prometheus, whose name is commonly interpreted as connected with forethought. The contrast reflects the brothers’ different behavior in the story.

Prometheus warned Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus, but Epimetheus accepted Pandora when she arrived. Pandora later opened the vessel containing the evils destined for humanity, making Epimetheus part of the myth’s cautionary chain of events.

Pandora and Epimetheus are often confused with Prometheus because all three appear in the same myth cycle. Prometheus is Pandora’s brother-in-law and the thief of fire, not her husband.
