Summary
“Epimetheus is the Titan god of Hindsight,” Xiao Zhan explained, speaking with slow, measured words. “Most people are more familiar with his brother, Prometheus, who represents foresight, famous for being extremely intelligent, crafting humanity out of clay and stealing fire from the gods to give to us to build civilization. Barely anyone has heard of Epimetheus, though, and to the degree that Prometheus was lauded for being clever, Epimetheus was taunted for being foolish. Prometheus created man; Epimetheus created animals. He doted on his creations and gave every single last positive trait to the animals until Prometheus and his humanity had none left to use. For Epimetheus, as the god of “hindsight”, also interpreted as “afterthought”, humanity was an afterthought.”
