What picture of historical development do you get from the account of the Five Ages? Do you agreewith Hesiod? Why?A Human life is in a process of decline (spiral/ circular/ linear downward) with each stage of devolution 退化represented by a metal of inferior value to the one preceding it.B As men degenerate both physically and spiritually, they alienate themselves from the gods; the farther away from thegods/divinity, the nearer to the earthly/earth; also there is alienation between mind and heart/ instinct.C The human sufferings are self-induced punishment by gods; Natural disasters are ways of punishing humans.D Human civilization/knowledge/power leads to its separation from Divinity and Nature.E The account is symbolic and apocalyptic 启示性的: According what has happened to the 5 earlier ages, what is tohappen is predicted. Human history is thus a painful lesson teaching mortals to obey the gods.II. Gods’ Punishment of HumansDeucalion Flood myththe Biblical legend of Noah’s Ark p.282-3●Lycaon or his fifty sons or Tantalus●Historically several big floods in remote pastIII. PrometheusWhat role did Prometheus play in the primal history of mankind? What cultural value does the Promethean fire have in the history of human civilization?How do you like the mythical account that Prometheus was unbound and restored to Olympus? And why?●Family historyTitan Iapetus +Clymen e, daughter of Oceanos--- Atlas holding the broad sky at the ends of the earth---Hesperides p.307-310--- Menoetius sent by Zeus to Erebus---Prometheus ( Forethought先觉者)--Deucalion---Epimetheus(Afterthought后觉者) ---Pyrrha●Creator of humans:---dust/earth (with Uranus’s seeds)---wet the earth with water (water of life)---fashioned it into the image of Gods---to put life into it, confined good and evil of animals into human body, making it half living being(animal life)---Athene gave it soul/psyche and breath of life●Human benefactor:---fire---arts of healing, medicine---mathematics---astronomy---navigation航海---divination占卜---architecture---metallurgy冶金●Defender of human interest:---cheating at sacrifice---leaving meat to men---bringing the needed fire, the symbol of civilization (the Forbidden Fruit)[Promethean Fire: the Forbidden Fruit, which makes civilization possible and simultaneously severs humanity’s primal bond with Nature (Eden/animal)]●Savior of mankind:Christ-like, to suffer for the sake of mankind●Rebel against tyranny:refused to tell the secret (Zeus/Poseidon+Thetis ) and give in to ZeusPrometheus’s acceptance to Olympus: a compromise or a triumph?IV. PandoraWhat is the traditional understanding of Pandora? In what way is she a “lovely evil”?Pandora is often regarded as Eve, the first woman in the Bible. How does she resemble Eve? How do you defend her from the feminist point of view?What does it mean that “hope” alone remains in Pandora’s jar/box? What is the significance of “hope”?1. Nature of Woman●“all-gifted”有着一切天赋的女人●“the root of all evils”, the symbol of extravagance and ill-nature●the being with “curiosity”●the first woman, Greek Eve● a complementary curse and blessing for men[If a man refuses to marry, he has a dismal old age with no one to look after him and no family to inherit his possessions. If a man has a good wife, he has at least a mixture of good and evil.]2. Different accounts of the jarA.all good things flew back to heaven, only Hope was caughtB.both good and evil, Hope the last one to fly out before the jar was shutC.all evils in the jar flew out to attack humans, only Hope remained3. Cultural interpretation of Pandora● a product of earth and a gift of malevolence, the polar opposite of Prometheus’s gift, thecelestial flame that ignites the spark of civilization●this “lovely evil”, the lovely blessing an d curse, like Eve, is the catalyst催化剂of human“decline” and marks the beginning of tension between male and female●with the opening of her jar or box ends the Golden Age, shattering the link between humanityand divinity, and plunging human history into an irreversible downward spiral● a being of complexity with distinctive features of female good and evil, e.g. Ares’s , Hermes’s, Athene’s,Aphrodite’s, etc. as a blessing necessity as well as a curse to men4. Feminist Reading of Pandora●Gods punish men for civilization/brutality, women become the scapegoat.●Her story is really about men’s gullibility (Epimetheus) or innate weakness.●Women have played a decisive role in human civilization: It is human nature to be curious, and itis female curiosity/intelligence/cunning that leads to human civilization/knowledge.---Is female curiosity/intelligence bringing downfall of mankind or initiating Man into larger possibilities of civilized awareness?---Would you rather live contentedly in ignorance or suffer with a good knowledge of what you。

Roman and Greek Mythology希腊罗马神话课程教案Foreign Language Teaching and Research DepartmentHeilongjiang UniversityForeign Language Teaching and Research Department★ Introduction of GreeceI.ObjectivesStudents will be able to :1. get to know something about GreeceII.Lesson PlanGreece is the southeasternmost region on the European continent. It is defined by a series of mountains, surrounded on all sides except the north by water, and endowed with countless large and small islands. The Ionian (爱奥尼亚) and Aegean seas and the many deep bays and natural harbors along the coastlines allowed the Greeks to prosper in maritime commerce(海上贸易)and to develop a culture which drew inspiration from many sources, both foreign and indigenous. Greece has a history stretching back almost 4000 years. The people of the mainland, called Hellenes(古希腊人), organised great naval and military expeditions, and explored the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, going as far as the Atlantic Ocean and the Caucasus Mountains(高加索山脉). One of those expeditions, the siege of Troy, is narrated in the first great European literary work, Homer's Iliad. During the Classical period (5th century B.C.), Greece was composed of city-states(古希腊的城邦), the largest being Athens, followed by Sparta(斯巴达)and Thebes(底比斯). In the second half of the 4th century B.C., the Greeks, led by Alexander the Great①, conquered most of the then known world and sought to Hellenize it. In 146 BC Greece fell to the Romans.During the Hellenistic period, the Greek world was reaching as far east as India. At length its culture became one of the oldest and the most resplendent ancient civilizations in history---Hellenic culture. From this moment on, I will do my best to present you the culture from mythology stories.Foreign Language Teaching and Research DepartmentChapter1 IntroductionI. ObjectivesStudents will be able to :1. get to know the Beginning of the World2. get to know the Olympian GodsII. Learning Difficultiesdifferent names of the gods and goddessesIII.Lesson Plan★ 1.1 The Beginning of the WorldBefore earth and sea and heavens became known, the face of nature was one crude, formless mass. Land and sea and air were mingled together. The universe was a uniform darkness, without sun, moon, let alone the earth. In the middle of the darkness sat Chaos and his wife---Nyx [niks], the goddess of Night, who reigned but did not rule. So the whole space was lifeless. Centuries later, with the birth of Light and Day, earth and sea and air came into being. And also Chaos and Nyx gave birth to Gaea 盖亚(Earth), and Gaea gave birth to Uranus (Heaven) and married him. Still later, the union of Gaea and Uranus gave birth to the Titans (The Titans of Greek mythology were the twelve children of Gaea and Uranus), the Cyclopes and the Centimani. Afraid that his own gigantic children might usurp his throne, Uranus drove them all back to the earth, and this roused the resentment of the mother Gaea. At her instigation one of her sons, Cronus (one Titan) attacked and wounded Uranus with a sickle given by Gaea. Thus Cronus got the crown and became the supreme ruler of the universe.He married his own sister Rhea and entrusted the management of the sun to his brother Hyperion and the moon to his sister Phoebe. Cronus ruled his realm peacefully until an oracle prophesied that he would one day be dethroned/overthrown by one of his own children. To avoid the disaster he took the excessive precaution of swallowing up all his five children one by one after their birth. These were Hesia The goddess of the hearth (赫斯提:女灶神) Demeter (The goddess of the harvest得墨忒耳:主管收获的女神), Hera, Poseidon (The god of the waters, earthquakes, and horses), Hades (The god of the netherworld). When Rhea bore the last child, Zeus (Jupiter), Cronus wanted to get rid of him in the same fashion. But the mother wrapped up a piece of stone in the infant’s swathes and handed it over to the unsuspecting father. Thus Zeus was saved and sent to Mt Ida (艾达峰:克里特岛中部一山峰), where the mountain nymphs (宁芙女神:以美丽女子形象出现,有时化身为树、水和山等自然之物的小女神) did all in their power to protect him from any harm. By the time Cronus became aware of the deception, it was too late, for young Zeus suddenly appeared before him and easily deposed/dethroned him.Foreign Language Teaching and Research DepartmentWith the help of a nauseous potion, Zeus forced his father to disgorge his five brothers and sisters. But Cronus and his Titans were not reconciled to their defeat. They made war on Zeus and his brothers and sisters. Acting on the advice of his mother Rhea, Zeus released the Cyclopes from under the earth and armed himself with their thunderbolts, for the Cyclopes were thunderbolt-makers. Soon Cronus and Titans were forced to submission and cast down into Tartarus (The regions below Hades where the Titans were confined塔尔塔罗斯:冥府下面的深渊). Thus Zeus became the ruler of the Olympus. He made his sister Hera his queen, and distributed power among his brothers and sisters and his sons and daughters. Among them, Poseidon ruled over the vast expanse of seas and oceans, and Pluto was assigned as the lord to the lower world.★ 1.2 The Olympian GodsOn Mt Olympus, the overlord of gods---Zeus---was not an autocrat; he led a council of twelve members (i.e. there were twelve major gods on Mt Olympus).There were twelve Olympians, although you may run across fourteen different names. Hestia, Demeter, Dionysus, and Hades are variable. The remaining ten are: Apollo, Ares, Hermes, Hephaestus, Poseidon, and Zeus, among the gods; Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, and Hera, among the goddesses.Zeus(宙斯天王): Zeus is the ruler of the Olympian gods. He is also known as Jupiter in Roman. His attributes in iconography include the lightning bolt, the eagle, and the scepter. Hera(赫拉天后婚姻神): As the wife (and sister) of Zeus, Hera is the patron of marriage. She is also known as Juno (Roman). She has no unique attributes in iconography and so can only be identified by context or inscription.Poseidon(波塞冬海神): Poseidon is the god of the sea. He is also known as Neptune (Roman) and the Earth-shaker. His attributes in iconography include the trident and the fish.Hades(哈得斯冥神阎王):Hades is the god of the underworld. He is also known as Pluto(Roman). His attributes in iconography are the cornucopia and the sceptre.Ares(阿瑞斯战神): Ares is the god of war and conflict and is the husband of Aphrodite. He is also known as Mars (Roman). Ares is depicted as a warrior but, as he has no unique attributes in iconography, he can only be identified by context or inscription. Hephaestus (赫菲斯托斯火和锻冶之神) : The god of fire and metalworking.Hermes(赫耳墨斯商神幸运神): Hermes' main role is as a messenger but he has many other functions as well. He is also known as Mercury (Roman). His attributes in iconography include the kerykeion (messenger's staff), winged boots, and petassos (cap). Apollo(阿波罗太阳神): Apollo is associated principally with music, prophecy, sickness, and medicine. He is also known as Phoebus Apollo and is called the Far Shooter and the Pythian. (He has no separate Roman name.) His attributes in iconography are the cithara, or sometime the lyre, the bow, the fawn, and the tripod. He is often depicted with his sister, Artemis.Artemis(阿耳忒弥斯月神狩猎神): Artemis is the goddess of the hunt and animals, as well as of childbirth. She is also known as Diana (Roman). Her attributes in iconography include the bow and the fawn. She often appears with her brother, Apollo.Athene(雅典娜智慧神): Athene (also spelled Athena) is the patron of wisdom, military Foreign Language Teaching and Research Departmentvictory, and women's crafts. She is the one who leaped up from the top of Zeus’s head. She is also known as Tritogeneia and Minerva (Roman) and is also called Pallas Athene. Her attributes in iconography include the aegis (a fringed cloak, sometimes decorated with a Gorgon's head), the helmet, and the spear.Demeter(得墨忒耳农神): Demeter is the giver of grain. She is also known as Ceres (Roman) and sometimes Deo. Her attributes in iconography can include a torch, a crown, a sceptre, and stalks of grain. She is often portrayed with her daughter, Persephone/Kore. Aphrodite(阿芙罗蒂德爱欲之神): Aphrodite governs desire and sexuality. She is also known as Cytherea, Cypris, and Venus (Roman). She is often pictured with a sceptre or a mirror.Hestia The goddess of the hearth, daughter of Cronus and Rhea.(赫斯提:女灶神,克罗诺斯与瑞亚之女)Dionysus The god of wine and of an orgiastic religion celebrating the power and fertility of nature.Also called Bacchus狄俄尼索斯(酒神, 即罗马神话中的Bacchus)酒神和宗教狂欢庆祝大自然权力与丰产之神Gods assembled: In the line behind and from left to right is first Hades, holding his two-forked scepter, the mother of the gods Rhea 1, and between her and Hera is Hera's peacock. Zeus sits in the middle with the eagle at his feet holding the thunderbolt in his hand.To his right sits Cronos and standing are Athena and Apollo. Under the latter Artemis, with a half-moon adorning his head, is seen holding her bow. In the first line and from left to right Dionysus 2 is seen reclining. Ares in armour sits close to Aphrodite who looks at Eros as he comes towards her. In the far right sits Poseidon holding his trident.Foreign Language Teaching and Research DepartmentChapter2 Prometheus and Pandora's BoxI. ObjectivesStudents will be able to :1. get to know something about Prometheus2. get to know something about PandoraII. Learning DifficultiesThe relation between Prometheus and PandoraIII. Lesson Plan★ 2.1 PrometheusPrometheus was one of the Titans, a gigantic race, who inhabited the earth before the creation of man. Prometheus was called the benefactor of mankind.To him and his brother Epimetheus was committed the office of making man, and providing him and all other animals with the faculties necessary for their preservation. Epimetheus undertook to do this, and Prometheus was to overlook his work, when it was done. Epimetheus accordingly proceeded to bestow upon the different animals the various gifts of courage, strength, swiftness, sagacity; wings to one, claws to another, a shelly covering to a third, etc. But when man came to be provided for, who was to be superior to all other animals, Epimetheus had been so prodigal of his resources that he had nothing left to bestow upon him. In his perplexity he resorted to his brother Prometheus, who, with the aid of Minerva (The goddess of wisdom, invention, the arts, and martial prowess. 密涅瓦:掌管智慧、发明、艺术和武艺的女神), went up to heaven, and lighted his torch at the chariot of the sun. and brought down fire to man. With this gift man was more than a match for all other animals. It enabled him to make weapons wherewith to subdue them; tools with which to cultivate the earth; to warm his dwelling, so as to be comparatively independent of climate; and finally to introduce the arts and to coin money, the means of trade and commerce.Zeus sent most of the Titans to Tartarus to punish them for fighting against him in the Titanomachy, but since the second generation Titan Prometheus had not sided with his aunts, uncles, and brother Atlas, Zeus spared him. Zeus then assigned Prometheus the task of forming man from water and earth, which he did, but in the process, became fonder of men than Zeus had anticipated. Zeus didn't share Prometheus' feelings and wanted to keep men from having power, especially of fire. So Zeus deprived mankind of the gift of fire. Prometheus cared more for man than for the wrath of the increasingly powerful and autocratic king of the gods, so he stole fire from Zeus' lightning, concealed it in a hollow stalk of fennel, and brought it to man. He also stole skills from Hephaestus and Athena to give to man. Then, when Zeus and he were discussing the ceremonial forms for Foreign Language Teaching and Research Departmentanimal sacrifice, Prometheus devised a way to help man. He divided the slaughtered animal parts into two packets. In one was the ox meat and innards wrapped up in the stomach lining. In the other packet were the ox bones wrapped up in its own rich fat. Prometheus presented Zeus with a choice between the two, and Zeus took the richer appearing. As a result of this trick, man would thereafter be able to feast on the meat whenever it sacrificed (burned bones) to the gods.Prometheus was still not awed by the might of Zeus and continued to defy him, refusing to warn him of the dangers of the nymph Thetis (future mother of Achilles). Zeus had tried punishing Prometheus through his loved ones, but this time he decided to punish him more directly. He bade Hephaestus (or Hermes) chain Prometheus to Mount Caucasus, where an eagle ate his ever-regenerating liver each day.Eventually Hercules rescued Prometheus, and Zeus and the Titan were reconciled. ★ 2.2 Pandora’s BoxPandora, was crafted by Hephaestus in his forge. Athena provided Pandora with skills in the womanly arts and made her dangerous. Zeus, who ordered her creation, gave her as a gift and a curse to mankind. Thus Pandora can be said to have had three parents. Pandora is better known as the woman whose curiosity got the best of her when she opened the forbidden box out of which came all the evils of the world and one good, hope.Aphrodite (Venus) gave her beauty, Hermes (Mercury) persuasion, Apollo music, etc. Thus equipped, she was conveyed to earth, and presented to Epimetheus, who gladly accepted her, though cautioned by his brother to beware of Zeus and his gifts. When he was preoccupied with teaching men the art of living, Prometheus had left a big cask in the care of Ephimetheus. He had warned his brother not to open the lid. Pandora was seized with an eager curiosity to know what this jar contained; and one day she slipped off the cover and looked in. Forthwith there escaped a multitude of plagues and sickness, theft and violence, grief and sorrow and all the other evils that human world was henceforward to experience. Pandora hastened to replace the lid! But the whole contents of the jar had escaped, one thing only excepted, which lay at the bottom, and that was hope. So we see at this day, whatever evils are abroad, hope never entirely leaves us; and while we have that, no amount of other ills can make us completely wretched/miserable/despaired..Foreign Language Teaching and Research DepartmentChapter3 The Four Ages and The FloodI. ObjectivesStudents will be able to :1. get to know something about the four ages2. get to know something about the floodII. Learning DifficultiesThe two characters in the story of the floodIII. Lesson Plan★ 3.1 the Four AgesGolden AgeThe Golden Age was a mythical first period of man when everything was happy and easy, and mortals lived like gods, although they died, but only as if falling asleep. No one worked or grew unhappy. Spring never ended. It is even described as a period in which people aged backwards. When they died, they became ghosts and roamed the earth. The people of the Golden Age were formed by or for the titan Cronus.When Zeus overcame the titans the Golden Age ended.First of all the deathless gods who dwell on Olympus made a golden race of mortal men who lived in the time of Cronos when he was reigning in heaven. And they lived like gods without sorrow of heart, remote and free from toil and grief: miserable age rested not on them; but with legs and arms never failing they made merry with feasting beyond the reach of all evils. When they died, it was as though they were overcome with sleep, and they had all good things; for the fruitful earth unforced bare them fruit abundantly. They dwelt in ease and peace upon their lands with many good things, rich in flocks and loved by the blessed gods.Silver AgeDuring the Silver Age the Olympian god Zeus was in charge. Zeus caused this generation of man to be created inferior in appearance and wisdom to the last. He divided the year into four seasons. Man had to plant grain and seek shelter, but still, a child could play for a hundred years before growing up. The people wouldn't honor the gods, so Zeus caused them to be destroyed. When they died, they became "blessed spirits of the underworld."Bronze AgeThe third Age was of bronze. Zeus created men from ash trees. They were strong and warlike. They did not eat bread. Their armor and homes were of bronze. It was this generation of men that was destroyed by the flood in the time of Deucalion and Pyrrha. When they died they went to the Underworld.Foreign Language Teaching and Research DepartmentThese were destroyed by their own hands and passed to the dank house of chill Hades, and left no name: terrible though they were, black Death seized them, and they left the bright light of the sun.Our race is the Iron Race in the Iron Age.Iron AgeZeus placed a fourth race of men on earth during the present, Iron Age. All manner of evils came into being during this age. Piety and other virtues disappeared and most of the gods who were left on Earth, abandoned it. Zeus will destroy this race some day.The father will not agree with his children, nor the children with their father, nor guest with his host, nor comrade with comrade; nor will brother be dear to brother as aforetime. Men will dishonour their parents as they grow quickly old, and will carp at them, chiding them with bitter words, hard-hearted they, not knowing the fear of the gods. They will not repay their aged parents the cost their nurture, for might shall be their right: and one man will sack another's city. There will be no favour for the man who keeps his oath or for the just or for the good; but rather men will praise the evil-doer and his violent dealing. Strength will be right and reverence will cease to be; and the wicked will hurt the worthy man, speaking false words against him, and will swear an oath upon them. Envy, foul-mouthed, delighting in evil, with scowling face, will go along with wretched men one and all. And then Aidos and Nemesis (7), with their sweet forms wrapped in white robes, will go from the wide-pathed earth and forsake mankind to join the company of the deathless gods: and bitter sorrows will be left for mortal men, and there will be no help against evil.★ 3.2 The FloodTowards the end of the Age of Bronze the human world became very wicked. Men grew greed, and impious. Neither right nor law was respected any longer, and the rule of hospitality (殷勤待客的风俗) was forgotten. Disguised in human form, Zeus visited Arcadia (A region of ancient Greece in the Peloponnesus. Its inhabitants, relatively isolated from the rest of the known civilized world, proverbially lived a simple, pastoral life. 阿卡迪亚:古希腊的一区域,位于伯罗奔尼撒,其居民与其它著名文明世界相对隔绝,以过着简朴和田园式的生活著称。

混 合物。这些作家也独创了一些罗 马神祗和英雄们特有的故事,但 这类创造并没有脱离希腊神话的 影响。
只有罗马城建立的故事完全属 于罗马人的独创。与罗马有关 的神话故事主要有两个。一个 是罗马城建立者罗慕卢斯和他 的同胞兄弟雷摩斯的故事。这 个故事见于李维和普鲁塔克的 作品。另一个是埃涅阿斯的的 故事,主要见于维吉尔的《埃 涅阿斯记》。埃涅阿斯是特洛 伊的大英雄,特洛伊陷落后他 经过了一番艰险的航行,在意 大利的拉丁姆建立了殖民地, 成为罗马建立者的祖先。所以 罗马独有的神话故事主要源于 古罗马作家的作品。

[教案]第一课 古希腊神话欣赏 第一讲

第一课古希腊神话欣赏(第一讲)教学目标:1.了解希腊神话的产生及其对西方历史文化的影响,熟悉神话中的主要人物及故事。

2.感受神话故事的魅力,以有趣的教学活动激发学生阅读名著的兴趣。

教学重点:了解希腊神话著作结构,了解主要人物,了解其对西方文化产生的影响。

教学难点:学习《古希腊神话》中天马行空的想象力,感受作者语言的精妙。

教学工具:教材、课件、视频、角色牌、海报、便签贴。

教学课时:2次课教学过程:第一课时(55分钟)一.读书堂1.导入(5分钟)PPT2:(板书:古希腊神话欣赏)师:美国诗人爱伦·坡曾经说过:辉煌属于希腊,伟大属于罗马。

在人类文明史上,古希腊文明以其特异的风采与卓越的成就享誉后世,成为影响西方社会乃至世界文明的“希腊的奇迹”。

马克思也曾高度评价希腊文明,认为它具有“永久的魅力”“而且就某方面说还是一种规范和高不可及的范本”。

如果我们把古希腊文明比作一曲蓝色旋律,那么,古希腊神话无疑就是开篇华章。

师:同学们,一提到希腊你们会想起什么?生:发言。

师:(PPT3出示《俄狄浦斯王》封面及简介)在古代埃及,有这样一种风俗——今年如果发生了一种特别大的天灾,弄得庄稼颗粒无收,老百姓就会想:一定是我们犯了什么罪,上天降祸于我们。

那该怎么办呢?他们就把一群羊赶到荒野去,让这群羊代替自己,赎洗自己的罪过,这些羊就叫做“替罪羊”。

希腊神话中的俄狄浦斯的故事,是“替罪羊”的神话原型之一。

俄狄浦斯本身没有罪过,他是一个非常善良的人,但是为什么要给他这样的命运?——当他知道自己就是那个杀父娶母的元凶后,俄狄浦斯刺瞎了自己的双眼,到处去行乞,以此来赎洗自己的罪过——但是事实上他是没有罪的,他不过是一个“替罪羊”,即当一个地方瘟疫流行,庄稼不生长,妇女生育能力下降时,大家找出来的“替罪羊”。

这样的角色在我们现在的人类生活中,还有没有呢?生:讨论、发言。

师:大家知道吗?欧洲人根据人出生的时间,把人们归入12个不同的星座,就像我们国家有12个属相一样。

希腊罗马神话教案【篇一:古希腊罗马文学讲义】古希腊罗马文学讲义古希腊、罗马文学的成就和意义古希腊文学贯穿着热爱生活、热爱现实、肯定人、相信人的积极人生态度,在人类艺术发展的早期就表现出高超的艺术技巧,成为欧洲及至整个西方文学的源头。

古罗马文学继承了古希腊文学的杰出成果,并成为古希腊与近代欧洲文学之间的桥梁。

罗马帝国晚期,希伯来文化传到罗马,并与希腊文化结合而成基督教文化,基督教文学随之兴起,成为欧美文学史的又一渊源。

古希腊文学的发展过程“荷马时代”(公元前11世纪-公元前9世纪),主要成就是神话和史诗;希腊城邦国家的形成和繁荣时期(公元前8世纪-公元前5世纪),主要成就是抒情诗和寓言。

“古典时期”,希腊奴隶制的全盛时期(公元前6世纪末-公元前4世纪初),主要成就是戏剧、散文和文艺理论。

希腊化时期(公元前4世纪-公元前2世纪),只有新喜剧对后世文学有影响。

古罗马文学的发展过程共和时期(公元前3世纪-公元前2世纪),主要成就是戏剧;共和晚期和奥古斯都时期(公元前1世纪-公元1世纪),罗马文学的“黄金时代”,散文、诗歌、文艺理论都有新成就;帝国时期(公元1世纪-5世纪中叶),罗马文学开始衰落,仅讽刺诗和小说有些成就。

古希腊、罗马文学繁荣的原因建立在航海贸易基础上的奴隶制经济;奴隶制城邦国家的建立,避免了中央集权专制制度的出现;奴隶主民主政治的发展,保证了雅典等城邦内的公民自由,从而形成了以雅典为代表的古希腊文化学术的繁荣局面。

什么是“城邦”?所谓城邦,指由一个单独的城镇为中心的国家。

历史上的城邦通常是大文化圈的一部份,如古希腊城邦(如雅典、斯巴达)、迦南的腓尼基城邦(如泰尔、西顿)、中部美洲的玛雅城邦、丝绸之路上的小国(如撒马尔罕、布哈拉)和意大利城邦(如佛罗伦斯、威尼斯)。

中国周代实行封建制度,分封的一些诸侯国有时也被称为城邦。

顾准:《希腊城邦制度——读希腊史笔》,贵州人民出版社1994年版。

“城邦”的制度形式贵族制:由贵族集体领导,权力受公民大会制约;寡头制:由少数贵族领导,权力受公民大会制约;僭主制:依靠武力或非法手段夺权,无视公民大会,但往往取悦于平民,有利于向民主制转变;君主制:君主终身世袭,独掌大权,但形式上保留公民大会;民主制:人民集体享有主权,公民大会是最高权力机关。

他看到人类生活在寒冷和黑暗中十分伤心,为了给人类造福,普罗米修斯就冒着生命危险为人类盗取天火。

0普罗米修斯躲在太阳车所要经过的路上。

当太阳神阿波罗驾驶着太阳车轰隆隆从天空中驶过的时候,普罗米修斯悄悄地将茴香树的枝条插进太阳车的烈焰中,偷取了火种。

普罗米修斯小心翼翼地把火种带到人间。

从此,人类就用火来烧熟食物,驱寒取暖,用火来打造工具,还用火来驱赶凶猛的野兽。

人类文明向前迈进了一大步。

0主神宙斯站在奥林匹斯山上,发现人间烟火袅袅,立刻追查是谁盗走了天火。

当他得知是普罗米修斯触犯了天规,便大发雷霆,决定要狠狠惩罚他。

但是火神很敬佩普罗米修斯,悄悄地对他说:“只要你向宙斯承认错误,归还火种,我一定请求宙斯他饶恕你。

”普罗米修斯摇摇头,坚定地说:“为人类造福,有什么错!我可以忍受各种痛苦,但决不会承认错误,更不会归还火种!”0火神不敢违背宙斯的命令,只好把普罗米修斯带到高加索山,用一条永远也挣不断的铁链把他缚在一个陡峭的悬崖上,让他永远不能入睡,疲惫的双膝也不能弯曲,在他起伏的胸脯上还钉着一颗金刚石的钉子。

他忍受着饥饿、风吹和日晒。

宙斯派天神用沉重的铁链把普罗米修斯锁在高加索山的悬崖绝壁上,让他经受烈日暴雨的折磨。
