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.

What is
babunello [35]

Answer:

Sorry I can only help with the last one.

Explanation:

An adjective is a word that is used to modify a noun in a sentence. For example, This Pen Is Red. The adjective is Red because it tells more of the noun, Pen.

A preposition, is a word used with a noun or pronoun to make its relation with another word in the sentence. Not to be confused with a conjunction, which is used to join two different words or phrases or clauses.

A noun is the name of a person, an animal, a place, or a thing. America is a noun because it's a place, you are a noun because you are a person.

Hope it helped. ♥
