EPIMETHEUS (AFTER-THOUGHT)
A symbol of the personality, or lower mental
nature.
"For Prometheus and Epimetheus are one Man, according to the system
of allegory, that is, Soul and Body." But the Greeks call the earthy
Adam, Epimetheus, who is counselled by his own Mind, that is, his
brother (Prometheus)." - ZOSIMUS, Fragments, 26, 27
The "earthy Adam" is the lower mind or personality in its
mental-body, and this is emanated by the higher mind or
individuality (Prometheus) in its causal-body or immortal soul.
“Hermes took Pandora to Epimetheus, who made her his wife." -
Smith's Class. Dict.
The mental principle (Hermes) conveyed the emotion-nature (Pandora
or Eve) to the lower mind (Epimetheus or Adam), and these became
allied in the human soul.
