	Epimetheus, A Moon of Saturn
		Epimetheus [ep-eh-MEE-thee-us] is the fifth satellite of Saturn.
		The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 14, 2005, at a distance of approximately 87,000 kilometers (54,000 miles) from Epimetheus and at a Sun-Epimetheus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 95 degrees.
		This image of Epimetheus was acquired by the Voyager 2 spacecraft on August 26, 1981.

	Epimetheus - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		Epimetheus in astronomy, one of the named moons, or natural satellites, of Saturn.
		Also known as Saturn XI (or S11), Epimetheus is an irregularly shaped (nonspherical) body measuring about 89 mi (144 km) by 67 mi (108 km) by 61 mi (98 km); it orbits Saturn at a mean distance of 94,090 mi (151,422 km) and has equal orbital and rotational periods of 0.6942 earth days.
		Epimetheus and Janus are co-orbital; that is, they share the same average orbit.

	Epimetheus (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Epimetheus occupies essentially the same orbit as the moon Janus.
		A faint dust ring is present around the region occupied by the orbits of Epimetheus and Janus, as revealed by images taken in forward-scattered light by the Cassini spacecraft in 2006.
		The Cassini orbiter is due to perform a flyby of Epimetheus on December 3, 2007.

	Epimetheus (moon)
		Epimetheus (ep'-i-mee'-thee-us, Greek Επιμηθεύς) is a moon of Saturn.
		Astronomers assumed that there was only one body in that orbit, and accordingly had a hard time figuring out their orbital characteristics; it is obviously impossible to reconcile the observations of two distinct objects as a single object.
		Janus and Epimetheus may have formed from a disruption of a single parent to form co-orbital satellites, but if this is the case the disruption must have happened early in the history of the satellite system.

	Epimetheus (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Greek mythology, Epimetheus ("hindsight", literally "hind-thought") was the brother of Prometheus ("foresight", literally "fore-thought"), a pair of Titans who "acted as representatives of mankind" (Kerenyi 1951, p 207).
		The daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora was Pyrrha, who married Deucalion and was one of the two who survived the deluge.
		Epimetheus plays a key role in the philosophy of Bernard Stiegler, and in particular in terms of his understanding of the relation between technogenesis and anthropogenesis.

	Mythography \| The Titan Epimetheus in Myth and Art
		According to the ancient Greek poet Hesiod, Epimetheus was the son of the Titan Iapetos and the Oceanid Clymene.
		Epimetheus was so taken with Pandora that he eagerly agreed to marry her.
		And Epimetheus lived up to his name - afterthought - for not realizing what a dangerous creature Pandora really was, for according to Greek mythology, it was Pandora (it should be mentioned that Pandora was as curious as she was lovely) who released all manner of evil into the world.

	The Orbital Dance of Epimetheus and Janus - Explore the Cosmos \| The Planetary Society
		Epimetheus and Janus are small, irregularly-shaped moons with diameters of about 120 and 180 kilometers (about 75 and 110 miles), respectively.
		Epimetheus gained momentum and rose in orbit as Janus lost an equivalent amount of momentum and fell.
		Epimetheus and Janus do not actually pass each other; the apparent crossing is caused by Cassini's shifting point of view as it traveled on its own orbit at a distance of about 1 million kilometers (600,000 miles) from the pair.

		Epimetheus gives one creature beauty, another strength, agility if one is small and intelligence if one is bulk and goes on giving out without the wisdom of his brother.

	EPIMETHEUS : Greek Titan god of afterthought ; mythology : EPIMETHEOS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		EPIMETHEUS was the Titan god of afterthought, the father of excuses.
		Epimetheus said to Prometheus: 'Let me distribute, and do you inspect.' This was agreed, and Epimetheus made the distribution.
		Thus did Epimetheus, who, not being very wise, forgot that he had distributed among the brute animals all the qualities which he had to give-and when he came to man, who was still unprovided, he was terribly perplexed.

		Epimetheus complied with her' request; but Mercury evaded the question, asked permission to deposit his burden in their dwelling for safe-keeping, professing himself too weary to convey it to its destination that day, and promised to call for it shortly.
		Epimetheus was coming, and she knew he would urge her again to come out, and would prevent the gratification of her curiosity.
		Epimetheus reproached his wife in bitterest terms for her thoughtless action; but in the very midst of his vituperation he suddenly heard a sweet little voice entreat for freedom.

	Prometheus 1, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		Epimetheus, they say, persuaded Prometheus 1 to let him do the dealing himself, saying that afterwards Prometheus 1 could examine what he had done.
		This is how Epimetheus, lacking in wisdom and forethought, distributed all properties suited for survival among animals, leaving unequipped the race of men.
		This is the reason why Pyrrha 1, the daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora 1, is called the first mortal woman ever born.

		Prometheus became the father of Deucalion, the first man, with his wife Celæno, or Clymene (in traditions where she is not mentioned as his mother).
		Pandora was so beautiful that, no sooner had Epimetheus seen her that, forgetting the order from his brother Prometheus never to accept a gift from Zeus, he fell in love with her and made her his wife.

		Although his brother, Prometheus, had warned hime not to accept anything from Zeus, Epimetheus was so impressed by Pandora's charms that he took her in as is wife.

	[35.11] Broad-band spectra of Janus and Epimetheus from HST (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Janus and Epimetheus are small coorbital satellites that lie just outside of the bright A ring of Saturn, making them challenging targets for detailed photometric studies.
		On the other hand, if Janus and Epimetheus were fragments of a common progenitor before becoming coorbitals, one would expect their colors to be similar to each other.
		We have begun a systematic photometric survey of Janus and Epimetheus, using a rich set of HST images taken between 1996 and 2002 with the WFPC2 camera over a wavelength range of 255 to 1042 nm.
