Earth to Elysian Fields Emathia to Eretria Erginos to Eulimene Eumaios to Exomis
A son of the Titan, Iapetos, and the Okeanid, Klymene (Clymene); the brother of Prometheus, Menoitios and Atlas.
His name literally means After-Thought; Prometheus warned him to be suspicious of gifts from Zeus but Epimetheus could not resist the god-made woman, Pandora, when she was offered to him by Zeus and, by accepting her, unwittingly unleashed all the evils upon the world.
