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.

Emotionally charged words are often included in speeches pronounced by politicians. In this case,<u> the words 'justice', 'magnanimity' and 'usurpations' are emotionally charged because they seek to engage the readers and to make them take a position</u>. These words are also used to evoke empathy and to give the impression that the people that signed the Declaration of Independence were only defending the citizens' right to be free.
Answer:
It is unexpected that the bachelor becomes involved with the family and storytelling.
Explanation:
"The storyteller" is a short story by H. H. Munro, known as Saki.
The story revolves around three curious children constantly asking their aunt numerous question while travelling in a railway carriage. In order to keep them quiet, she decides to tell them a story, only to be confronted by an unknown man, a stranger, riding the carriage with them, about her obvious lack of story-telling skill. The stranger then proceeds to tell them his version of the aunt's story.
Since the man was a complete stranger, we could say it was rather unexpected of him to become involved with the storytelling so suddenly.
