Epimetheus

Pandora's mythological husband

Epimetheus is a figure from Greek mythology, a Titan whose name means "afterthought" — the brother of Prometheus ("forethought").

Despite warnings from his brother, Epimetheus accepted Pandora as a gift from the gods, leading to the release of evils into the world.

The name has been given to one of Saturn's moons, a small irregular satellite that shares an orbit with Janus.
