Epimetheus - Titan of Water
Epimetheus is the Titan of Water and Afterthought. He is said to have been an incredibly dim witted and lazy Giant, selfish to a fault and incapable of anticipating consequences of his actions.
Epimetheus was also associated with calm waters, in contrast to Poseidon’ crashing waves.
Epimetheus was created by his mother Gaia as part of her plot to usurp the Gods. He was created to one day usurp control over the Elemental Plane of Water from its current ruler Poseidon. But that never came to be as Epimetheus and his two brothers, Atlas and Prometheus, were rejected by their mother, thought to be too soft. Instead the brothers joined the side of the Gods during the Gigantonomy.
There is not much surviving scripture written about Epimetheus, with him only mentioned in accounts of the Gigantonomy, and nothing thereafter.
Apperance:
Epimetheus is often depicted as a giant sized, portly, masculine figure, with earthen skin, long, blonde hair and a short beard.
