Epimetheus

God of Hindsight

A man with a beard and wavy hair, wearing a brown toga, sitting on a stone surface at sunset. He rests his head on his hand, looking contemplative, with a broken clay pot and tools on the ground beside him.

Epimetheus does not shine with brilliance nor thunder with foresight. He is the Titan of hindsight, the one who sees only after the choice has been made, when the path is already taken. On Greek Astra, he is remembered not for wisdom but for the weight of lessons learned too late.

He is not the spark of creation like his brother Prometheus, but the shadow left behind when the flame has already burned. Epimetheus is the hesitation that costs dearly, the trust given too easily, the mistake that cannot be undone. Through him, mortals learn that every gift carries a price, and every action its consequence.

Legends recall his fateful choice—to accept Pandora and the jar she carried, unleashing sorrow upon the world. Yet even in failure, there is meaning, for Epimetheus embodies the truth that only through error can growth take root. On Astra, he is more than folly; he is the mirror of every regret, every hindsight revelation, the eternal reminder that wisdom often arrives too late.
