| Hindsight
is 20/20...
I'm
so glad that you had the foresight to click on the link that brought
you here. That's because, according to astrologer, Liz Greene -
there's another chapter to the story of Prometheus that relates
to the energy of Aquarius. It
seems that the Titan god, Prometheus (foresight) had a brother by
the name of Epimetheus. (Epimetheus literally means hindsight...)
Let's
set the stage... Zeus is more than a little ticked off at Prometheus
because of humanity receiving the gift fire from the Titan god.
So Zeus comes up with a way to have his revenge on both humanity
and Prometheus at the same time.
How
does Zeus do this? Zeus creates the perfect woman. He creates this
perfect woman and then names her, Pandora. (I believe you may have
heard of her and her infamous box?) Zeus offers the, oh so, tempting
Pandora to Prometheus as his bride. She comes complete with an unopened
box of "gifts" and "treasures" from Olympus.
Prometheus
takes one look at the lovely, mouth-watering Pandora (remember,
now - his name means foresight) and
tells Zeus something to the effect of
"thanks very much, but no thanks." One
can only assume his liver was still smarting a wee bit from the
eagle snacks.
Then
Zeus offers Pandora to the Titan's brother, Epimetheus...
(Whoops!
We're in trouble now...) Epimetheus, who seemed to be a wee bit
less intelligent than his brother, takes one look at the lovely,
mouth-watering Pandora (remember,
now -- his name means hindsight) and
asks Zeus something to the effect of
"how fast can I take her home?" One
can only assume he was thinking of something other than his liver
at the time.
Hopefully,
you've heard the rest of this story regarding Pandora and her box.
Eventually, the box is opened, and plague-ridden creatures of all
kinds invade the world. Some
of the creature's names are: fear, terror, war, sickness, despair,
depression and loneliness. These are the gifts Zeus gives to humankind
in punishment for their having received the stolen fire from Prometheus.
There
is, however, one creature or gift down at the bottom of the pile
that manages to partially redeem the situation for humanity.
The
name of this creature or gift is "Hope."
Epimetheus
(hindsight) represents the blinder, more naive side of Aquarian
energy that doesn't recognize a villain until it's bit him on the
liver.
