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.

Which statement strays from the topic of a proposed leash law? (a) I feel safer when I see that a dog is on a leash. (b) Leashes
kherson [118]

The statement that strays from the topic of a proposed leash law is d. Some breeds don't deserve their bad reputation. By discriminating which dogs must be walked with a leash and which mustn't, there will be a misunderstanding of the purpose of holding dogs with a leash. The focus of the law should be to protect the animals (mostly if they're not trained), since dogs can be injured or get lost, no matter their breed.
