经典古希腊神话中英双语故事Just as Heracles was the chief hero of Peloponnesus,so Theseus was the most famous half god of Attlca.His father was king Aegeus of Athens and his mother a princess of Troezen.When he was still an infant his father left him in the care of his motherand went back to his own kingdom.Before he left,Aegeus buried his sword and sandals under a huge stone,and told his mother to direct him to Athens as soon as he was big enough to lift the rock and take the hidden gifts with him. At the age of sixteen he became a strong young man,intelligent and with lots of nerve.Taking the sword from under the rock,he joyfully set out to look for his father.It was a journey of adventures.But he cleared the roads of various monsters he met and appeared harmless in his father's palace at Athens.Little did he suspect that here would be an attempt on his life there.King Aegeus had recently married Medea,a bad woman.She was anxious to have the Athenian thronefor her own child. She had persuaded the king to poison the newer at a feast.As the feast was in progress,King Aegeus saw Theseus' sword and recognized his son in the young man .Quickly pushing the poisoned cup aside,he took his son in his arms and declared him his successor.Thus troubled by her own evil designs,Mede fled in her dragon drawn carriage,never to return.for a time Theseus stayed with his father at Athens.When the Cretan bull escaped into the area of Marathon he set out alone to fight with the beast and offered it up as a sacrifice to the gods.At this time the city of Athens was bothered by the respect it had promised to pay to King Minos of Crete . The Cretans hade to attack Athens,and the gods had ordered that the Athenians would have to meet the demand of the Cretan king that seven boys and seven girls be sent to Crete every year to feed the half man,half bull Minotaur.Determined to kill the Minotaur and save his people from further grief,Theseus decided to go as one of the fourteen chosen victims.Before he left he promised his father that if he succeeded in his work he would change the black sails of his ships to white ones.He went,and with the help of princess Ariadne of Crete,he killed the Minotaur and carried the Princess with him on his way back.At Naxos he left the girl in her own care.For when he neared Athens he fot to put up the promised white sails,and his anxious father,standing on a hill-top,saw the black sails,threw himself down into the sea in despair.So stricken with grief was Theseus that he never recovered from regret.He succeeded his father as king,and introduced many good measures to improve the life of his people.To rid his kingdom of the threat by the Amazons,he led an expedition into the woman country and took its queen prisoner.The queen,Antiope by name,ws in fact so passionately in love with him that she agreed to marry him.At a later date the Amazons came to lay attack on Athens on the excuse of recovering their queen.In the battle that followed,the queen was wounded by a chance arrow and died,leaving Theseus a sad widower.Theseus' friendship with Pirithous,king of the Lapithae,grew from a dramatic beginning.Pirithous was invading Attica and Theseus was marching his men out to meet him. In the first personal encounter beeen the o heroes each was so filled with admiration for the other that they both laid down their weapons and became faithful friends.At the wedding of Pirithous,to which Theseus and Heracleswere invited,a number of horsemen present were angry with the shining beauty of the bride,so that they attempted to take her by force.Both Theseus and Heracles were enraged at their wild behaviour .In what was known as the coldblooded fight beeen the horsemen and the Lapithae they beat the horsemen and saved the bride.But she did not have long to live.Both Theseus and Pirithous were full of the ambition of marrying a lady of holy birth.At one time they got Helen by force,she was the beautiful daughter of Zeus,but as she was not yet of marriageable age,Theseus left her with his mother.Later she was rescued by her brothers,Castor and Pollux.So proud were the o friends that they were now planning to invade the lower world and carry Persephone up by force,for Pirithous was eager for her beauty.They went,but they found it impossible to get out again.One of them,Pirithous,was bound to a turning wheel while Theseus himself was chained to a rock.If it had not been for Heracles,who came in for Cerberus,Theseus would never have been able to return to the upper air again.When he returned to Athens he was quite old and unhappy with life.As king he acted like a tyrantand went successfully away from his people. He was sent away to the island of Scyros,where he fell into sea from a cliff. Nothing more was heard of him until the battle of Marathon centuries later.When the Athenians saw a mighty soldier leading them in their ruthless attack against the invading Persians,they recognized him as Theseus and after the war they devoted a grand temple to his memory and offered sacrifice at his altar.正如海格立斯是珀罗普妮萨斯的大英雄,特修斯当之无愧地成了安提卡闻名遐尔的人神。

古希腊罗马神话中的英语典故

古希腊罗马神话中的英语典故

古希腊罗马神话中的英语典故作者:佚名资源来源:其他网站点击数:4335 更新时间:7/16/20081.An Apple of Discord争斗之源;不和之因;祸根An Apple of Discord直译为“纠纷的苹果”,出自荷马史诗Iliad中的希腊神话故事传说希腊阿耳戈英雄(Argonaut)珀琉斯(Peleus)和爱琴海海神涅柔斯的女儿西蒂斯(Thetis)在珀利翁山举行婚礼,大摆宴席。

他们邀请了奥林匹斯上(Olympus)的诸神参加喜筵,不知是有意还是无心,惟独没有邀请掌管争执的女神厄里斯(Eris)。

这位女神恼羞成怒,决定在这次喜筵上制造不和。

于是,她不请自来,并悄悄在筵席上放了一个金苹果,上面镌刻着“属于最美者”几个字。

天后赫拉(Hera),智慧女神雅典娜(Athena)、爱与美之神阿芙罗狄蒂(Aphrodite),都自以为最美,应得金苹果,获得“最美者”称号。

她们争执不下,闹到众神之父宙斯(Zeus)那里,但宙斯碍于难言之隐,不愿偏袒任何一方,就要她们去找特洛伊的王子帕里斯(Paris)评判。

三位女神为了获得金苹果,都各自私许帕里斯以某种好处:赫拉许给他以广袤国土和掌握富饶财宝的权利,雅典娜许以文武全才和胜利的荣誉,阿芙罗狄蒂则许他成为世界上最美艳女子的丈夫。

年青的帕里斯在富贵、荣誉和美女之间选择了后者,便把金苹果判给爱与美之神。

为此,赫拉和雅典娜怀恨帕里斯,连带也憎恨整个特洛伊人。

后来阿芙罗狄蒂为了履行诺言,帮助帕里斯拐走了斯巴达国王墨涅俄斯的王后---绝世美女海伦(Helen),从而引起了历时10年的特洛伊战争。

不和女神厄里斯丢下的那个苹果,不仅成了天上3位女神之间不和的根源,而且也成为了人间2个民族之间战争的起因。

因此,在英语中产生了an apple of discord这个成语,常用来比喻any subject of disagreement and contention;the root of the trouble;dispute等意义这个成语最初为公元2世纪时的古罗马历史学家马克?朱里?尤斯丁(Marcus Juninus Justinus)所使用,后来广泛的流传到欧洲许多语言中去,成为了一个国际性成语。

古希腊神话故事中英文阅读版(一)Pandora's Box 潘多拉的盒子Zeus made the first woman and sent her to Prometheus and his brother, to punish them for their caring so much for men. She was made in heaven, every god contributing something to perfect her. Venus gave her beauty, Mercury persuasion, Apollo music, etc. All gods gave her gifts, silvery raiment and a broidered veil, a wonder to behold, and bright garlands of blooming flowers and a crown of gold. Because of what they gave her they called her Pandora, which means "the gift of all".The gods presented her with a box into which each had put something harmful, and forbade her ever to open it. Then they sent her to Epimetheus, who took her gladly although Prometheus had warned him never to accept anything from Zeus. He took her, and afterward when that dangerous thing, a woman, was his, he understood how good his brother's advice had been. For Pandora, like all women, was possessed of a lively curiosity. She had to know what was in the box. One day she lifted the lid——and out flew plagues innumerable, sorrow and mischief for mankind. In terror Pandora clapped the lid down, but too late. One good thing, however, was there——Hope. It was the only good the casket had held among the many evils, and it remains to this day mankind's sole comfort in misfortune.潘多拉是宙斯创造的第一个人类女人,主要是要报复人类。

希腊有一个没有什么名气的小城邦一直得到爱与美之神的喜欢。

那里的人们特别爱美,而且懂得什么是真正的美。

城邦的每个角落都有爱与美之神维纳斯的庙宇,人们尊重她,热爱她,并且总是把最好的祭品献给她。

但是这一两年来,情况似乎发生了变化。

维纳斯的庙宇开始被冷落了,去献祭的人越来越少,后来简直门可罗雀;供桌上和地上布满了厚厚的尘土,庙宇的墙角也结满了一层层的蜘蛛网。

女神看到这种情况不由得大怒,于是立即变作人深入城中探访。

原来这个小城邦的国王有三个女儿,老大老二长得平平常常,但是最小的女儿近两年来却出落得十分美貌。

她体态娉婷,面容姣好,长着一双水灵灵的眼睛,令人眩目。

见过她的人都不知道该用怎样唯美的语言来形容她,只是逢人便夸赞。

于是这位公主的美名就在城中传开了。

城里的公民都以公主的美作为自己国家的骄傲。

每天都会有无数的人来到王宫一睹她的风采。

大家把她当作最美的女神来崇拜,甚至争先恐后的把最好的东西献给她。

她的名字普绪克早已被人们遗忘,大家都叫她美女神,仿佛她就是维纳斯。

维纳斯非常嫉妒她,便命令丘比特去惩罚她。

然而丘比特不小心被自己的箭射中,于是深深爱上了普绪克,并使她成为了自己的妻子。

普绪克在神殿里过着优裕的生活,但由于丘比特是违背了母亲的命令才和她结婚,所以维纳斯下令不许普绪克看到丘比特的样子,为此,她很郁闷。

她的两个姐姐嫉妒她在神殿里的生活,便骗她说丘比特是个恶魔,并怂恿她晚上偷看他。

待她晚上点上灯看到丘比特之后,才知他原来是一个英俊的少年。

丘比特被吵醒后,愤怒而去。

普绪克知道了自己有多么爱他。

普绪克到处寻找丈夫,不觉来到了维纳斯的神殿。

为了毁掉她,维纳斯骗她说如果想见到丘比特,必须完成三项任务。

第一项任务是让普绪克将三种谷子在傍晚前分类,第二项任务是让她搜集一只羊重的黄金羊毛,最后一项是叫她把一个空盒子交给冥府的王后珀尔塞福涅,并从她那里带回一盒美貌。

无助的普绪克陷入了绝望,因为她知道,去冥府就是意味着死亡,也许永远不能见到丘比特了。
