The famous stories are:

The old couple turned into trees:

Zeus is the first god in the sky, a thor, and a god of happiness who benefits the world. When Zhou is in private, he will take his son Hermes, disguise himself as a poor pedestrian, dress casually, and live in a family in the village.

Once, Zeus came to earth and wanted to stay in a village for one night. I didn't expect that people in that village were so unkind that no one wanted to raise him. Finally, Zeus came to a small hut. There is an old couple in the room.

"bang! Bang! Zeus knocked at the door and asked, "Is anyone home?" The old man came out to open the door and asked, "It's so late. what can I do for you? Zeus said, "My son and I are wandering here, tired from walking and hungry. Can you spend the night with us? " The old man immediately greeted him and said, "It's very cold outside. Come on in! " The old lady also said, "We still have some cheese and bread at home. I'll bring them to satisfy your hunger. Come on in! 」

Zeus and Hermes both entered the house. The old couple are really poor at home, but they still take out the best things to entertain Zeus and his son, boil hot water to wash their faces, take out clean bedding for them to use, and then chat with them. Zeus and his son are sitting at the table, which is thick but clean. While eating, the old lady took out a pot of wine and poured it into the cup. Unexpectedly, the flagon that was emptied just now was filled again in a short time. At this time, the old couple suddenly realized that these two poor tramps were immortals.

So the old couple immediately knelt down and worshipped. The old lady also wants to kill the only goose in the family to add vegetables. Zeus said, "Don't kill the goose. Your kindness really touched me. Everyone else in this village is cruel, but you two are the kindest. Now, please come with me to the top of the mountain opposite, and I will punish other people in the village. Zeus took the old couple to the top of the mountain. Looking back, the old couple found that their small village had become Wang Yang.

After the flood receded, the old couple returned to their hut. They couldn't believe their eyes. The hut became a magnificent temple, with a marble floor under it, and all the doors, windows and walls were decorated with gold reliefs. At this time, Zeus asked the old couple again, "Good old ladies and gentlemen, do you have any wishes?" You're welcome, just tell me! 」

After whispering to each other for a while, the old couple said modestly, "Please ask God to appoint us old couples as priests in this temple, and let us die on the same day in the same year!" ! Zeus certainly agreed. Since then, the old couple have been priests in this temple until the end of their lives. They said to each other, "Take care, goodbye! As soon as the old couple finished talking, they became two trees.

The story of Ursa minor:

Achatz was born by Zeus and callisto, the fairy of themis.

Because Hera's jealousy turned his mother callisto into a bear, 15 years later, when Achatz was hunting, he saw his mother-a bear came at him. Achatz didn't know that the bear was his mother, so he raised his spear and stabbed him. Fortunately, Zeus, who was patrolling the sky, saw this scene. He couldn't bear to see the tragedy, so he turned Achatz into a bear. In this way, Achatz recognized his mother.

The story of Hercules:

The great hero in Greek mythology. The Romans called him Hercules. Father is Zeus, mother is alcmene, wife of Amphitlaoun, king of Thebes, and descendant of Poerxiusi. Before alcmene gave birth, Zeus decided to let the descendants of Poerxiusi born on this day rule Mycenae. Hera, out of jealousy, delayed alcmene's delivery and brought Poerxiusi's grandson Eurystheus forward. Heracles was thrown into the wild by his mother after he was born. Hera passed by and fed him with her own milk without knowing it, so he was extremely powerful. When she was eight months old, Hera sent two poisonous snakes to hurt him, and he strangled her in the cradle. When he grew up, Count casto and Kay Long Xing Centaurs taught him all kinds of martial arts and knowledge. Because he killed his music teacher by mistake, he was sent to the countryside by Amphitryon to graze. He once killed a lion in Kitarong and put its skin on his body (he said he was wearing the skin of a Nimia lion). Before going to life, he refused the temptation of "the goddess of evil virtue" and decided to follow the advice of the goddess of virtue and benefit the people all his life. He returned to Tebai at the age of 18, defeated the miners and forced them to pay tribute to Thebes. To thank him, King Creon of Thebes married his daughter Megara.

Later, Eurystheus asked him to serve. He went to ask for a sign from God, and the sign confirmed that he would complete 65,438+02 jobs for Eurystos, and began to call him Heracles, which means "Hera brings glory to others" or "a man who has achieved something because of Hera's persecution". Hera took the opportunity to make him insane and threw his children into the fire to burn them. During his service in Eurystheus, he made 12 great achievements:

(1) a fierce lion strangled by steel in the forest of Nemea;

(2) Killing hydra that harms people and animals in Lerner swamp;

(3) Capture the red deer alive with Jinjiao's bronze hoof in the Cragneria Mountains (Heracles killed by mistake);

(4) capture the wild boar alive in the dense forest of Mount Hermantos;

(5) In Augeas, a mountain of feces was used to divert water to clean the cowshed;

(6) Drive away the strange birds on Lake Stefano;

(7) Crazy cattle in Crete;

(8) Drive the cannibals of Diomedes from Thrace to Mycenae;

(9) Defeat Hippolyta, the leader of Amazon women, and seize her belt;

(10) Red Bull rushed back to Jiraun from Illetia Island, and erected two steep rocks (namely Hercules Pillar) at the end of the Mediterranean Sea;

(1 1) won the golden apple in the sacred garden of Hesperides (for this reason, he supported the whole sky on behalf of Al themis. On the way, I also defeated the son of Gaia.

(12) Bring three dogs of Hades, Sai burroughs, to earth, and then send them back to Hades.

After being free, Hercules abandoned Megara and went to Okalia to propose to Iole, the daughter of Eurytos. At this time, his master's cow was stolen. In order to prove his innocence, he went out to look for it with Eurytos' son. Hera drove him crazy and killed his companion. In order to atone for his sins, he became a slave to Empler, Queen of Lydia, for three years. Legend has it that he also participated in the heroic voyage of Argo and the hunting of Kaludon, and attacked King Laomedon of Troy. When he attacked Pilars, Hades personally helped the local king nereus, who was badly hurt by him. He later married Diane Naira of Kaluton, and on the way to Trakys with his wife, Nessus Centauri tried to steal his wife, and he shot her to death with a poisoned arrow. Before he died, the centaur persuaded Agnella to collect his poisonous blood so that it could be used to restore her husband's love for her in the future. Hercules captured Iolai when he attacked Okalia, so Anniya was afraid of being abandoned and gave her husband a shirt stained with toxic blood. After he put on this dress, he was in unbearable pain and finally threw himself into the fire. According to Zeus' wishes, he became the god of Olympus, and Hera reconciled with him and betrothed Herb, the goddess of youth, to him as his wife.

Prometheus stole skyfire:

The prophet Prometheus came to the land of the sea under the blue sky.

At that time, the ground was covered with flowers and weeds, and all kinds of animals were scattered all over the floor. Birds build nests in trees and sing in the air. It's just that there are no humans who rule the earth yet. Prometheus wants to awaken the seeds of human life buried in the soil, so that they can make the earth more full of vitality.

So, with a smile on his face, he walked thoughtfully to a river, grabbed a mass of mud from the river bank, poured some water on it with his hand, turned it into mud with suitable hardness, and then made a man out of mud in the image of God. The little clay figurine was very popular with him, so he was very happy to make many similar clay figurines. After rubbing, he looked at these lifeless bodies and fell into a long meditation. How can we bring them back to life?

Prometheus is a god who is good at creation and invention. He absorbed good or evil characteristics from all kinds of animals, such as lion's bravery, dog's loyalty and intelligence, horse's diligence, eagle's foresight, bear's strength, pigeon's meekness, fox's cunning, rabbit's timidity and wolf's greed, and then integrated these characteristics and injected his own part into everyone's chest. In this way, they can move like animals However, they are only half-life, because they still lack the aura of the God who created them.

Among the gods, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is a friend of Prometheus. She was surprised to see what Prometheus had done on Mount Olympus. When she found Prometheus looking helplessly at his creation, she hurried down from Olympus and blew the energetic breath of God into their mouths. Therefore, they gain wisdom and reason, which makes them become real people.

This is how people are created. They got up from the ground and ran around like children, looking at trees, weeds, flowers and animals in surprise. Like children, I don't know how to think. They see these objects, but they don't know how to identify them. They hear the sound of running water and blowing wind, the howling of wild animals and the singing of birds, but they can't understand all this. They don't know how to use their hands and strength. They live in dark caves because they don't know how to make tools or how to build houses with fallen trees and stones. They don't know how to explain the movement of the stars, nor how to divide the four seasons according to the laws of nature and make use of them. They don't know how to farm and harvest. Like children, they need help with everything.

Prometheus was very willing to help them. He acted as their teacher. They learned to count and write from him. Under his guidance, they observed the movements of the sun, the moon and the stars, built houses and cultivated fields with cows and horses. Through hard-working hands, they built sailing boats sailing on the sea. He showed them the underground treasure, and they found gold, silver, copper and iron. According to his guidance, they tried to make all kinds of drugs, using oil and wine to treat diseases and wounds. Finally, Prometheus also taught human beings to predict the future and interpret dreams, and divined according to the flight of birds and the internal organs of animals. In short, he taught them everything that is useful to human beings and can make them satisfied and happy. People also thanked him and rewarded him with love and loyalty.

Zeus and other gods who live on Mount Olympus are the masters of the universe. They soon noticed the human beings created by Prometheus. They demand that human beings worship them and obey them. In exchange, they can protect human beings and their property and wish them a bumper harvest in their work. In a gathering of gods and men, they discussed the obligations and rights of both sides. Prometheus, as a defender of mankind, also attended the party. He wants to protect mankind and prevent the gods from asking too much for their help and increasing the burden on mankind. Finally, the two sides reached an agreement on their respective obligations. However, human beings should give the best things to the gods. This time, Prometheus slaughtered a strong bull on behalf of mankind to worship the gods. In order to test the god's omniscient ability, he came up with a plan to chop the cow into pieces and divide it into two piles: pile the meat, viscera and fat into a pile and cover it with cowhide; Pile the bones into another pile and skillfully wrap them in sheep fat. This pile looks bigger. Then he asked Zeus to choose the one he liked from the two piles.

Zeus, who knows everything, saw through his scam at a glance, but pretended not to know. He has long been dissatisfied with Prometheus' behavior and always wants to find fault with him to punish him. So he stretched out his hands to get the pile. When he opened the white sheep fat and saw the stripped bones, it seemed that he had been cheated, and he flew into a rage: "Well, you evil god, you have made such a deception!" " You will be punished for this! "

Say that finish, Zeus and his entourage, driving the thunder and lightning, angrily returned to Olympus. As the first punishment for Prometheus' mischief, Zeus refused to give mankind the last thing they needed to complete their civilization-fire. But the witty Prometheus immediately thought of a remedy. He broke off a long fennel branch and lifted it into the sky. When the sun god drove a burning solar car through the air, Prometheus put fennel branches into the flame and guided them, and then quickly landed on the earth with this burning flame. There, he lit the first pile of firewood with kindling, and the fire went up into the sky.

Zeus saw flames rising from the ground in the sky. The fire lit up the earth and people danced around it. He knew that Skyfire had been stolen, and his heart ached. In order to offset the benefits of fire to mankind, he came up with a more vicious way to harm all mankind. He ordered his son hephaestus, who is famous for his cleverness, to create a beautiful girl. The beauty of this girl is incomparable, which makes all the gods marvel. Athena gradually lost her affection for Prometheus because she was jealous of him. She personally dressed the girl in a beautiful white dress, hung a veil to cover her face, put on a corolla made of flowers and tied a golden hair band; Hermes, an angel of God, presented this charming girl with confusing language skills. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, endowed her with infinite charm. This beautiful girl is called Pandora, which means "the woman who is given everything".

Zeus handed Pandora a box in which every god gave her a gift that was harmful to mankind. Then Zeus asked Hermes to take her to a place where man and god were in harmony. They were very surprised to see this beautiful girl, because human beings have never seen such a woman. Pandora took the box to look for Prometheus' younger brother, the stupid Epimetheus, and gave him a gift from Zeus. Prometheus once warned his brother not to accept gifts from the ruler of the holy mountain of Olympus, in case he waited for revenge. But as soon as Epimetheus saw Pandora, she was fascinated by her beautiful appearance and beautiful language and completely forgot her brother's warning. Without warning, he stretched out his hands and prepared to pick up the box. At this moment, Pandora suddenly opened the lid of the box, and a large group of disasters hidden inside flew out at once. They are silent and invisible, and cover the whole earth in a blink of an eye.

Since then, various diseases and disasters such as fever, plague and sudden death have wandered around the earth day and night. They came quietly because Zeus didn't give them a sound. Prometheus, the rescuer and doctor of mankind, saw that his creation was attacked by disaster and tortured by disease, and suddenly died for no reason. He was so sad that he almost fainted.

However, Zeus, the ruler of Olympus, refused to stop there. He also wants to get back at the creator of mankind and kill him. He gave Prometheus to hephaestus and his two servants, Kratos (strong) and Biya (violent). They took him to Caucasus Mountain and tied him firmly to the steep cliff with an endless chain. In fact, hephaestus didn't want to carry out his father's orders because he liked and respected Prometheus very much. While performing his cruel executioner's task, he murmured sympathy and asked Prometheus to forgive him. However, his two servants who jumped out of hell laughed at him for being soft-hearted because they hated Prometheus, the son of light.

Unfortunately, Prometheus was tied to a steep cliff and hung straight there, never sleeping again. His tired knees could not bend because his hands, arms, shoulders and legs were firmly bound by chains, and a diamond nail was nailed to his undulating chest. He endured hunger, thirst, heat and cold. Except for the wind and rain, Zeus sent his eagle to peck the liver of the bound person every day. But the eaten liver will grow back soon. In this way, day after day, year after year, Prometheus endured indescribable pain and suffering for the sake of human happiness for a long time.

Thirty years later, a hero named Hercules came here to look for golden apples. Seeing the descendants of God tied to the cliff, a giant eagle was pecking at his liver, and the archer who shot the evil eagle with his bow and arrow immediately put down the bag. Then he opened the chain and rescued Prometheus. Zeus flew into a rage when he learned that. In order to appease Zeus' anger, Hercules turned Long Xing Centauri into Prometheus' body double. Kay Long Xing was accidentally injured by Hercules' poisoned arrow, and the wound never healed. The pain was unbearable, but he was willing to sacrifice himself and give his eternal rights to Prometheus.

However, Zeus still wanted Prometheus to wear an iron ring on his wrist forever with a Caucasian stone attached to it. In this way, Zeus can boast that his enemy is still tied to the mountain.
