Describe what the name Epimetheus means​

English
1 answer:
nexus9112 [7]2 years ago
3 0
Epimetheus was one of the Titans, son of Iapetus and Clymene. He was the brother of Prometheus, Atlas and Menoetius. His name is derived from the Greek word meaning 'afterthought', which is the antonym of his brother's name, Prometheus, meaning 'forethought'. In this context, Epimetheus appeared as a foolish character, while Prometheus was the clever one.
Prometheus and Epimetheus were told to distribute characteristics to the newly created animals. Epimetheus started giving a positive trait to every animal, but lacking foresight, he realised that he had distributed all traits without having any left to give to man. So, Prometheus gave mankind the civilizing arts and fire.

Is a tiger a vertebrate mammal?
Ede4ka [16]
Yes a tiger is a vertebrate mammal.
The order of a tiger's life cycle is from a newborn to a child tiger to a fully developed adult tiger. Mostly it all depends on the mother to teach the litter of cubs which are 2-3 cubs how to hunt and be ready to live and survive in the wild.
The tigers striped coat helps him blend in with the sunlight filtering from the tree tops to the jungle floor.

We can see here that rhetorical device other than antithesis that can also be found in the Gettysburg Address excerpt is: Repetition.

<h3>What is rhetorical device?</h3>

In Literature, a rhetorical device refers to the device or technique that is used by speakers or writers in order to convey meanings to the listeners or readers and with an aim to persuade them to take a particular action. Rhetorical devices tend to use persuasive means in reaching to the targeted audience and making them to carry out a particular action.

Some rhetorical devices that writers employ are:

  • Pathos
  • Repetition
  • Ethos
  • Kairos
  • Logos, etc.

There devices are seen in writing and written art works.
