金色的羊毛



希腊北部国王阿塔玛斯有两个孩子，
法瑞克斯和赫勒。
当国王离 开第一个妻子和一
个名叫伊诺的坏女人结婚后，
两个孩子受到后母残忍虐待，
整个王国 也受到毁灭性瘟疫的侵
袭。
伊诺在爱轻信的丈夫耳边进谗言，
终于使国王相信：
他的儿子法瑞克斯是这次灾害的罪
魁祸首，
并要将他献给宙斯以结束瘟疫。
可怜的孩 子被推上了祭坛，
将要被处死。
正在此时，
上帝派了一只浑身上下长着金色羊毛的公羊 来将两个孩子驮在背上带走了。
当他们飞过隔开
欧洲和亚洲的海峡时，
赫勒由于看到浩 瀚的海洋而头晕目眩，
最终掉进大海淹死了。
这片海
洋古时候的名称叫赫勒之海，赫勒拉旁海峡便由此而来。
金色公羊驮着法瑞克斯继续向前飞
去，来到了黑海东岸的科尔契 斯。在那里，法瑞克斯将公羊献给了宙斯；而将金羊毛送给了
埃厄忒斯国王。国王将羊毛钉在一棵圣树上 ，并派了一条不睡觉的龙负责看护。

点金术

弥达斯是伊达山大女神和一位姓名不详 的英雄的儿子。
他是马其顿勃洛弥恩的好寻欢作
乐的国王。他统治勃里癸亚人民，种植闻名遐迩 的玫瑰花。

一天，
狄俄尼索斯酒神和追随者从色雷斯出发去维奥蒂亚。
狄俄 尼索斯以前的老师森林
之神老西勒诺斯不巧跟队伍走散了。
他喝得醉醺醺的，
躺在弥达 斯的花园里酣然大睡。
园丁
发现了他，
把他捆起来领去见弥达斯。
他给弥达斯 讲述有关大洋河彼岸的、
与连成一片的欧
罗巴、
亚细亚或阿非利加完全脱离的一个大洲 的奇妙的故事。
大洲上座落着神奇的城市，
居
住着身材高大、
幸福而长寿的人 民，
拥有值得赞颂的法律制度。
西勒诺斯的故事使弥达斯听
得欣喜若狂。他盛情款待老 山神五天五夜，然后派向导护送他回到狄俄尼索斯的大本营。

狄俄尼索斯一直在为西勒诺斯担 心。
现在，
他派人问弥达斯有什么要求，
他应该怎样报
答他。
弥达斯 毫不迟疑地回答说，“请恩准使我摸到的一切都变成金子。”然而，
变成金子
的不仅仅是石块、 花朵和屋内的陈设。他坐下吃饭时，他吃的食物和喝的水也都变成金子。
过了不久，弥达斯恳求狄俄尼索 斯使他从他那愿望中解脱开来，因为他饥渴交加，快死了。
狄俄尼索斯逗弄弥达斯，开心得很。他叫弥达 斯前往帕克托罗斯河的源头，在河里洗个澡。
弥达斯依法行事，立即解除了点金术，但帕克托罗斯河的沙 子至今因含金而闪闪发光。


阿波罗

Among
the
crowd
of
Olympian
gods
the
one
mostwidely
admired
was
Apollo
．
He
was
the
son
of
Zeusand
Let
to
．
According
to
GREek
mythology
，
Leto
wasdriven
by
Hera
from
land
to
land
at
last
Poseidon
tookPity
on
her
and
brought
the
island
of
Delos
out
of
waterfor
her
to
live

on
．
There
she
gave
birth
to
the
twins
，
Apollo
and
Artemis
．


Apollo
was
me
sun-god
．
He
wore
a
purple
robe
．
Heusually
sat
in
hi
s
bright
eastern
palace
early
in
themorning
and
madeready
to
start
h
is
daily
journeyacross
the
sky
．
During
the
day
hed
rove
his
carriage

ofgold
and
ivory
，

and
brought
light
，

life
and
love
to
the
GREa
t
world
below
．

Iate
in
the
afternoonhe
came
to
the
end
of
his
jou
rney
in
the
far
western
sea
and
got
on
his
golden
boat
to
return
to
hiseastern
home
．

Apollo
was
the
god
of
music
and
poetry
．
He
could
stir
up
all
fe
elings
．
These
feelings
are
expressedin
lofty
songs
．
With
his
lyre
of
g
old
and
the
sweet
accents
of
his
godlike
voice
heled
the
choir
of
theMuses
at
Olympus
．
The
pleasant
music
from
his
lyre
was
so
exciting

that
stones
marched
into
theirplaces
in
rhythmic
time
and
of
their

own
will
when
he
helped
Poseidonbuild
up
the
walls
of
Troy
．
Onone
occasion
，
invited
to
a
contest
by
the
human
musician
Marsyas
，
he
won
and
then
flayed
himto
death
for
his
pride
．
On
another
occasio
n
，
he
lost
out
toPan
at
a
musical
contest
and
turned
theears
of
the
j
udge
，
King
Midas
，
into
those
of
an
ass
．

His
son
，
Orpheus
，
took
over
such
skill
from
the
father
that
his
lyre
moved
man
and
a
nimals
alike
．

Apollo
stood
for
youthful
and
manly
beauty
．
His
goldenhair
，
stately
manner
and
air
all
combined
tomake
him
the
admiration
of
the

world
．
A
beautiful
girl
，
by
the
name
of
Clytle
，
was
so
fond
of
hisbeauty
and
glory
that
from
dawn
to
dusk
she
knel
t
on
the
ground
，
her
hands
outstretched
towardsthe
sungod
，
and
her
eyes
looked
at
his
golden
wheeled
carriage
racing
across
the

blue
sky
．
Thoughher
love
was
not
returned
，
she
had
never
changed
her
mind
about
Apollo
．
The
gods
were
movedat
t
he
sad
sight
，
and
changed
her
into
a
sunflower
．

在众多的奥林波斯山神中，
主 神宙斯和雷托之子阿波罗最受推崇。
据希腊神话记载，
雷
托被天后赫拉驱赶得四处流浪 。
最终是海神波塞冬怜悯她并从海中捞起提落岛让她居住。
在
岛上，她生了孪生儿子阿 波罗和阿尔特弥斯。

阿波罗是太阳神。
清晨他身着紫色袍，
坐在那明亮的东 方宫殿，
准备开始每日穿越天空
的旅行。
白天，
他驾着用金子和象牙制成的战 车，
给广阔无垠的大地带来光明、
生命和仁爱。
黄昏时分，他在遥远的西海结束了旅行 ，然后就乘上金船返回东方的家中。

阿波罗是音乐神和诗神。
他可唤起人们倾注于圣 歌中的各种情感。
在奥林波斯山上，
他
手拿金质里拉，
用悦耳的音调指挥缪斯 的合唱。
当他帮助波塞冬建造特洛伊城墙时，
里拉奏
出的音乐如此动听，
以致 石头有节奏地、
自动地各就其位。
有一次他接受凡人音乐家马斯亚
斯的挑战参加一次竞 赛。
战胜对方后，
他将对手剥皮致死以惩罚他的狂妄自大。
在另外一次
音乐比 赛中，因输给了潘神，他就将裁判迈尔斯国王的耳朵变成了驴耳朵。

阿波罗的儿子俄耳甫斯继承了父亲这方面的才能。他的竖琴使人与动物皆受感动。

阿 波罗象征着青春和男子汉的美。金色的头发、庄重的举止、
容光焕发的神态，这些足
以使他受到 世人的青睐。
一位名叫克里提的美丽少女迷恋于他的英俊潇洒，
跪在地上，
从黎
明到黄昏，
双手伸向太阳神。
她凝视着那辆金质马车在蔚蓝的天空驰骋。
虽然她的爱 并未得
到回报，但她对阿波罗的痴情却从未改变。目睹这悲哀的场面，众神深受感动，将她变成了
一株向日葵。

not
before

He

．
The

court
was
held
on
a
hilloutside
Athens
．
Ares
presented
his
case
and

was
declared
innocent

hill
was
ever

阿瑞斯，宙斯和赫拉之子，被委任为战神。他威 严而可怕。他一走动，整个世界都会摇
晃。在奥林波斯山上的所有主神中，
他是最可恨的、最喜 欢争斗和战争的神，并且永远对血
腥有一种渴望。
另一方面，他代表勇气和胜利，被即将上战场 的战士们疯狂地崇拜。这些崇
拜者战前都要向他祈祷，战后将战利品供奉在他的祭坛前。
他是惟一一位曾经不得不屈于部下威力的神。
有一次，
由于缺乏机智与正确判断使他蒙受羞辱。他和两个巨人决斗，发现自己不能抵挡。他自动放下武器，被铐上铁链关了起来，
最后他被 老练的赫尔墨斯救出来，但在此之前，他已饱尝了受侮辱的滋味。

他做事不加思考，
就像他的残暴一样典型。
波塞冬的一个儿子企图诱拐他的女儿，
弄得
战神非常不悦。< br>于是，他毫不留情地把他干掉了。
为了替儿子报仇，波塞冬拉着阿瑞斯到雅
典法官面前要 求审判战神。
审判是在城外的一座小山上开庭的，
阿瑞斯叙述了案情，
最后被
判无罪。从那以后，
这座山就称作雅典的最高法院，即“阿瑞斯之山”；而出审的法官们被
称作 雅典最高法院的法官。

奥林波斯山神

在马其顿和希腊东部的色萨利之间矗立着一座高山。
大雾弥漫 的山顶直插云霄。
山顶上，
众神们的家园沐浴在阳光之中。
宙斯作为山神和人类之父主 宰着那里的一切。
总的说来，
宙
斯并不是一个独裁统治者。但毫无疑问，凡事山神们都 要听从他的命令。宙斯将男女山神
12
人组成一个委员会，宙斯本人则坐第一把交椅，是众神与 人类的太上皇，也是雷电的操
纵者。
他旁边是他那傲慢且嫉妒的皇后赫拉。
波塞冬是大 海的统治者。
哈得斯是主宰阴间的
冥王，
他在委员会中没有席位。
阿波罗是太 阳神、
音乐和诗神。他的孪生姐妹阿耳特弥斯是
月亮和狩猎女神。
雅典娜是智慧女神和 家居艺术品的守护女神。
赫提斯是家室之神，
象征着
家庭中的生命与幸福。
气 势汹汹的阿瑞斯是战神。
媚人的阿芙罗狄蒂是爱与美神。
火神赫菲
斯托斯是宙斯雷电的 创造者。
以翅代步的信使海尔墨斯掌管商业与发明事务。
谷物与丰收女
神得墨特尔负责 管理农业，她是文明之母。

以上所提到的主要天神们都假装成凡人的样子，
他们的美 丽与魅力无可匹敌。
因常受到
凡人情感与愿望的感染，
他们不时地勃然大怒，
妒嫉别人。
他们卷入与人类世界无休止的争
斗中。
在奥林波斯，
他们之间也充 满了阴谋与权力之争。
在凡人的世界里，
他们经历了敌对
与挫折。
他们珍惜人 间的爱与友善。
这群长生不老的天神们的外表与行为完全符合人间的方
式。这就是奥林波斯山神 们的本来面目。

他掌握了有关自然的所有秘密以及酒的历史。
他乘坐着他那辆
由野兽驾 驶的四轮马车到处游荡。据说他曾到过印度和埃塞俄比亚。他走到哪儿，
乐声、歌
声、狂饮就跟 到哪儿。他的侍从们，被称为酒神的信徒，也因他们的吵闹无序而出名。他们
肆无忌惮地狂笑，漫不经心 地喝酒、
跳舞和唱歌。
侍从中的妇女也因极端粗野、得意起来有
失体面而臭名昭著。< br>当她们疯狂或是极度兴奋时，
她们使用残忍的暴力。
她们曾把俄尔浦斯
这位才华 横溢的音乐家的手足撕裂。
就连底比斯国王，
仅因为在本国崇拜巴克斯
（狄俄尼索斯的别名）
问题上皱了皱眉头，
也遭受了同样的惩罚。
而带领这群狂热的女人胡作 非为的就
是狄俄尼索斯的母亲。

海尔墨斯

海尔墨斯一生下来就被任命为奥林波斯山的贼神。他 出生后几个小时的时候就做了贼。
黄昏时分，
他感到饥饿，
于是还是婴孩的海尔墨斯离 开了他的摇篮去找食物吃。
他碰巧看见
阿波罗的牛在草地里吃草，
于是他偷走了许多牛 ，
并将树枝绑在牛脚上，
让脚印变得模糊不
清。他杀了其中两头牛，美餐了一顿。然后 悄然地回到他妈妈的房里，爬上床。当阿波罗发
现牛少了，
来质问他时，
海尔墨斯佯作 不知。
愤怒不已的太阳神把他拖到奥林波斯山上，告
他偷窃并责令将牛如数还给主人。
为了平息这件事，
小海尔墨斯将他用乌龟壳做的琴送给阿
波罗。
阿波罗得到这件礼物非 常高兴，
并送给他的小兄弟一支魔棍，
这支魔棍可以化解敌对
力量。

到了一定的时候，
海尔墨斯被指定为宙斯和众神的传令官。
众神赐他一双带翅膀的草鞋
和一顶带翅膀的帽子，让他可以行动神速。海尔墨斯成了宙斯和凡世之间传递消息的人。

海 尔墨斯是行人的保护神。
十字路口或街角都有他的半身像和雕像。
并作为独特的标记，
看护着每一个过往的人。
这些雕像也用海尔墨斯的名字命名，
并被视为神圣不可侵犯的。
任
何毁坏雕像的行为都被认为是亵渎神灵，
要被处以极刑。
一次在雅典城，
海尔墨斯的像遭到
大量破坏。
这一捣毁神像的行为在国民中引起了强烈的反响。
毫不夸 张地说，
它改变了雅典
历史发展的全部进程。

Far
out
in

there
was
an

on

of
which

Half

，
the
Siren
sisterssat
in
a
field
of
flowers
singing
in
voices
that
excitedthe
hearts
of
men
．
The
attractive
songs

were

that

were
attracted

No

everbeen
known
to
pass

Island

withoutbeing

Acting
on

advice
of
Circe
，
Odysseus
took

Before

Odysseus

himself
tied

mast
，
，
stopped
the
ears
ofhis
men
with
wax
and
ordered
them
to
ignore
his

orders
and
gestures
when
they
were
passing

island
．

Soon
they
came
in

of
the
rocky

the

reached
the

ofOdysseus
