厄庇墨透斯

厄庇墨透斯希腊语Επιμηθέας,即“后见之明”)希腊神话中的一个提坦

厄庇墨透斯是第一代提坦神伊阿珀托斯的儿子,普罗米修斯(即“先见之明”)的兄弟。在传说里他与普罗米修斯一起用泥土创造人类,然而古代这两个神常用做人类的象征(厄庇墨透斯代表人类的愚昧,而普罗米修斯则代表人类的聪明)。  

创造万物

[编辑]

原来在创造动物和人类的时候,厄庇墨透斯负责赋予每种动物以良好的本能,他就把勇敢赐给狮子,把快跑的能力给了兔子,把敏锐的眼力给了老鹰,这样一个一个把他所有好的才能给动物,但他本来只是后见之明,没有考虑到他所有的创造物,到了人类的时候,什么也没剩下来给他们作为生存的依靠。所以人类既不是动物界最勇敢,又不是最快,也不是最强最凶猛,普罗米修斯看了人类很可怜,就偷偷上了奥林匹斯山十二位诸神的圣火拿回来给人类。后来普罗米修斯在诸神的背后教会了人类聪明和智慧,为的就是来弥补他的弟弟厄庇墨透斯的疏忽和不顾。  

后代子孙
