Mythology
Epimetheus and Prometheus were assigned with the task of creating creatures to inhabit the earth, giving the creates gifts that were given to the twin titans by the gods to grant to the creatures. Epimetheus quickly used up all of the gifts on the creatures that he created, the animals, leaving Prometheus' creations, the humans, helpless against the animals.

Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to the humans. Zeus was angered by this and punished Prometheus through Epimetheus. Zeus had Hephaestus, Athena, and Aphrodite craft a woman so alluring that Epimtheus wouldn't be able to refuse her hand in marriage. This woman was Pandora. The gods also gave her a box that held all of the earth's miseries within it. Epimetheus took Pandora's hand in marriage but eventually, curiosity got the best of her and she opened the box, releasing all the miseries into the world.
