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.

Epimeteusz (gr. Ἐπιμηθεύς Epimētheús, łac. Epimetheus „wstecz myślący”) – jeden z tytanów w mitologii greckiej. Uchodził za syna Japeta i Klimene lub Azji, był bratem Atlasa, Prometeusza i Menojtiosa. Był ojcem Pyrry. Mimo ostrzeżeń Prometeusza poślubił Pandorę, która była zesłaną przez bogów pierwszą kobietą. Za jej namową otworzył jej puszkę i tym sprowadził na ludzkość wszelkie nieszczęścia. Jego imieniem nazwano jeden z księżyców Saturna – Epimeteusz.
