       EPIMETHEUS was the Titan god of afterthought and excuses. He and his brother Prometheus were given the task of populating the earth with animals and men. However, Epimetheus quickly exhausted the supply of gifts allotted for the task in the equipment of animals, leaving Prometheus' masterpiece, mankind, completely helpless. As a result the Titan brother was forced to steal fire from heaven to arm them. Zeus was angered by this theft and ordered the creation of Pandora, the first woman, as a means to deliver evil into the house of man. Despite the warnings of his brother, Epimetheus happily received her as his bride, but as soon as she arrived she lifted the lid of a jar entrusted her by the gods, releasing a plague of harmful daimones (spirits) to trouble mankind. Only Hope (Elpis) remained behind to succor the unfortunate race. Epimetheus' name was derived from the Greek words epi-epeita, and mêtis, and means "afterthought" or "late counselling." Pindar calls Afterthought (Epimetheus) the father of Excuse (Prophasis). He was the proverbial fool. 

Pandora's_gift_to_Epimetheus (220x332, 23Kb)

 

   Epimetheus received Pandora as a gift from the gods; a human created by the gods specifically to punish the humans.

Pandora was given a jar which contained all evils of humanity; curious to see what was inside, she opened it and all evils were released into the world. Shocked, she closed it as soon as she could, but only Hope remained trapped inside.
 
1869 . 
What of the end, Pandora? Was it thine,
The deed that set these fiery pinions free?
Ah! wherefore did the olympian consistory
In its own likeness make thee half divine?
Was it that Juno's brow might stand a sign
For ever? and the mien of Pallas be
A deadle thing? and that all men might see
In Venus' eyes the gaze of Proserpine?
 
What of the end? These beat their wings at will,
The ill-born things, the good things turned to ill, -
Powers of the impassioned hours prohibited,
Aye, hug the casket now! Whithere they go
Thou mayst not dare to think: nor canst thou know
If hope still pent there be alive or dead.

                   Christina Georgina Rossetti, one of the most important women poets writing in nineteenth-century England with such works as "The Goblin Market" (1862), "The Prince's Progress" (1866), "Sing-Song A Nursery Rhyme Book" (1872), along with many other individual poems. She was born in London December 5, 1830, to Gabriele and Frances (Polidori) Rossetti. Better off than some during this time, the Rossettis were a part of the middle class. Christina's father, Gabriel Rossetti, was from a working class family. After Gabriel was exiled from Italy, due to his association with Napolean, he came to London in 1824 and began working as an Italian teacher. Frances Lavinia, Christina's mother, who worked as a governess before marrying, came from a much wealthier family.
Although her fundamentally religious temperament was closer to her mother's, this youngest member of a remarkable family of poets, artists, and critics inherited many of her artistic tendencies from her father. Christina Rossetti was ill off and on throughout most of her life. Much of her illness could perhaps be due to the fact that she was forced to stay at home and care for her father; some say her illness was a form of rebellion. Christina Rossetti eventually died of cancer on December 29, 1894.
Judging from somewhat idealized sketches made by her brother Dante, Christina as a teenager seems to have been quite attractive if not beautiful. In 1848 she became engaged to James Collinson, one of the minor Pre-Raphaelite brethren, but the engagement ended after he reverted to Roman Catholicism.
When Professor Rossetti's failing health and eyesight forced him into retirement in 1853, Christina and her mother attempted to support the family by starting a day school, but had to give it up after a year or so. Thereafter she led a very retiring life, interrupted by a recurring illness which was sometimes diagnosed as angina and sometimes tuberculosis. From the early '60s on she was in love with Charles Cayley, but according to her brother William, refused to marry him because "she enquired into his creed and found he was not a Christian.
All three Rossetti women, at first devout members of the evangelical branch of the Church of England, were drawn toward the Tractarians in the 1840s. They nevertheless retained their evangelical seriousness: Maria eventually became an Anglican nun,
and Christina's religious scruples remind one of Dorothea Brooke in George Eliot's Middlemarch : as Eliot's heroine looked forward to giving up riding because she enjoyed it so much, so Christina gave up chess because she found she enjoyed winning; pasted paper strips over the antireligious parts of Swinburne's Atalanta in Calydon (which allowed her to enjoy the poem very much); objected to nudity in painting, especially if the artist was a woman; and refused even to go see Wagner's Parsifal, because it celebrated a pagan mythology.
