Epimetheus.

In classical Greek mythology, Epimetheus means afterthinker, and was a twin brother to the Titan Prometheus. Having just seen Ridley Scott's new epic motion picture of that name, I took this photograph at the Omni Centre still trying to make up my mind about it.

Prometheus was responsible for giving fire to Mankind - thence struck from Mount Olympus by Zeus who chained him to a rock and, as a cruel and unusual punishment for this transgression, had a great eagle peck out his liver for all eternity. It is a myth that is central to the theme of the film, with extraterrestrials giving life to the Human Race, but for many I fear it is Ridley Scott who should be chained to the rock for creating high expectations for this epic adventure, as beautifully crafted and well-acted as it is.
