Prometheus' brother who opened Pandora's box is which figure?

Explanation:
Prometheus and Epimetheus are brothers among the Titans, with Epimetheus representing afterthought and Epimetheus the brother most closely linked to the Pandora myth. Pandora is given to Epimetheus by Zeus, and in the story she opens the box (jar), releasing all the evils into the world while hope remains inside. Because the question identifies Prometheus’s brother and ties him to the Pandora tale, Epimetheus is the best match. The other figures—Prometheus himself, Atlas, and Cronus—play different roles in myth and aren’t the ones associated with Pandora’s box in this context.
