AI overview
Epimetheus is a figure from Greek mythology who represents the opposite of his more famous brother Prometheus—while Prometheus embodies foresight and wisdom, Epimetheus embodies hindsight and foolishness. He matters as part of an archetypal pair that ancient Greeks used to illustrate contrasting human qualities, and in some versions of the myths he is responsible for releasing the world's troubles by opening Pandora's box.
