Epimetheus
Classical
Titan of afterthought. Epimetheus (“Afterthought”) was the son of the Titan Iapetus by the Oceanid Clymene or Asia.
Brother of Prometheus, Menoetius and Atlas. Epimetheus married the first mortal woman Pandora and was the father of Pyrrha.
Unlike his brother Prometheus, Epimetheus was not a very bright god, as his name suggests - “afterthought”. He was sometimes called Epimetheus the Scatter-brain (highly unflattering).
See Creation, Theogony of Hesiod.
