- German Vergangenheit: past → fargoneahead is a combination of Prometheus ("forethought") and Epimetheus ("afterthought"). Since Joyce, Stephen, and Shem are all sons of the father figures of John Joyce, Simon Dedalus, and Earwicker, a parallel with Jupiter's son Prometheus holds throughout. In the Mutt and Jute episode, Shem and Shaun become the primordial opposite brothers, Prometheus and Epimetheus, "furrowards [and] bagawards." (FW, 18.32).
