If she hadn't have opened the jar, we wouldn't have hope. Without hope, what would have happened after the flood?
We do have the gifts of intelligence, stamina, and opposable thumbs. It would be really cool if we could also fly though…
I like to interpret Epimetheus as equally smart as his brother, since foolishness does not mean stupidity. Another aspect would be that Epimetheus would also be the Risk Taker and have domain over learning through trial and error.
Always enjoy these thorough, straightforward, well-articulated narrations. I really appreciate your work.
In a way, I've always kinda thought that hope was the ultimate evil which was in the jar. That's why it's the only trait which didn't escape. When absolutely every other driving factor behind human longevity is gone, only hope remains. Humans have so much hope, that they will fight, strive, and suffer to survive. What more satisfying punishment could the gods put on a race, than to curse it to spend It's entire life, hoping, ie, "worrying for what it's to come."
