After Afterthought

When a god, in this case Zeus himself, presents a gift, there are two considerations that should be taken into account. Epimetheus only accounted for one; that refusing a gift is the same as declaring war.

What he didn’t consider was that the gift was his to keep.

Where Afterthought Begins

There was a man, Epimetheus. His name means afterthought. He lived in the regions around Thessaly (he could see Mt Olympus from his house) thousands of years after the serpent seduced Awdawm-ish and Awdawm-ishah. He was the son of the Titan Iapetus and the Oceanid Clymene, and lived to see the dawn of the Greek Bronze Age.
