biography

Past experience

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 the lion's skin on his body (he said he was wearing the skin of a Nimian 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.

The origin of the name

Eurystheus called 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, meaning "Hera brings honor 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 great achievements of 12.

12 great achievements

(1) a fierce lion strangled by steel in the forest of Nemea; (2) subdue the monster Xu Dela. Xu Dela is a hydra. It haunts the grass and harms all directions. What's more frightening is that the biggest one in its head can't be killed. If you cut it off, it will give birth to two new heads, which is stronger than Niu Wangmo's ability. Hercules doesn't believe in evil. He came to you. Xu Dela is much cleverer than a lion. He held his head high, waiting for Hercules to attack. Hercules stepped forward and cut off the biggest snakehead. To his great surprise, two new heads immediately appeared on the snake's neck, and ten heads were wobbly and creepy. While Heracles was thinking hard about the countermeasures, a big crab and Xu Dela were in cahoots and crept up quietly, biting Heracles's foot tightly with two big claws. Hercules turned around and smashed the cancer with a sudden blow from the tree. When he killed cancer, he called on his colleague Olaus to help him. Olaus lit a big tree, burned the newly-grown snakehead, then cut off the immortal snakehead with a knife, buried it by the roadside, and pinned it down with a huge stone. Finally, Hercules cut the snake into several pieces and soaked his arrow with snake blood. From then on, any monster he shot could not be cured with any medicine. (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 Stone Column) 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) Take three dogs of Hades, the gatekeepers of hades, to the world, and then send them back to Hades.

Become a god

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. Later, he married Diane Naira of Kaluton. On the way to Trakys with his wife, Nessus Centauri tried to take his wife away and was shot to death by him 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. In modern languages, his name is synonymous with Hercules.

[Edit this paragraph] The story of Hercules

The birth of Hercules

Hercules was the son of Zeus and alcmene, and alcmene was the granddaughter of Poerxiusi and the wife of King Amphitryon of Thebes. Amphitryon was also the grandson of King Poerxiusi and King Tallinn, but later he left the city and moved to Thebes. Hera, the wife of Zeus, hated alcmene for being her husband's mistress. Of course, she was also jealous of Heracles, because Zeus predicted to the gods that his son had a bright future and would go far in the future. When alcmene gave birth to Heracles, he was worried that his safety in the palace was not guaranteed, so he put him in a basket, covered with a little straw, and then put it in a place, which was later called Heracles Yard. Of course, if it weren't for a magical opportunity to let Athena and Hera go to that place, the child would certainly not live. Athena saw that the baby was beautiful and liked it very much. She felt sorry for him and suggested that Hera breast-feed the baby. He bit Hera's nipple and sucked her milk greedily, which made her nipple ache. Hera angrily threw the child to the ground. Athena sympathetically picked up the child, took it back to the city and gave it to the care of Queen alcmene.

The origin of power

Alcmene recognized this as her son at a glance, and she happily put the child in the cradle. She abandoned her children because she was afraid of Hera. Unexpectedly, the jealous stepmother saved her rival's son with milk. Not only that, Heracles sucked Hera's milk and left this mortal fetus. But Hera soon understood who the child who was sucking her milk was, and knew that he had now returned to the palace. She regrets that she didn't get back at her children and get rid of her. Then she sent two terrible poisonous snakes, climbed into the palace and killed the children. Late at night, the child was immersed in a sweet sleep. Neither the sleeping maid nor the mother found two poisonous snakes swimming in through the open door. They climbed into the baby's cradle and wrapped around his neck. The child woke up with a loud cry. He looked up and looked around, only feeling that his neck was tied. Then he showed the power of God. Grasping a snake in one hand and squeezing hard, they killed two snakes. Alcmene was awakened by the child's crying. She ran barefoot and called for help, only to find that two big snakes had died in the child's hand. After hearing the cry for help, the nobles of Thebes royal family rushed into the inner room armed to the teeth. King Amphitryon loved children and regarded him as a gift from Zeus. Then he came running with a sword in his hand. When he heard and saw what happened, he was surprised and happy. He was proud of his son's divine power. He thought it was an omen, so he sent for tiresias, a blind prophet in Thebes. This tiresias is a man endowed with prophetic ability by Zeus. He predicted the future of his children in front of everyone: when he grew up, he would kill many monsters on land and in the sea; He will defeat the giant, enjoy the eternal life of the gods after suffering, and win the love of herb, the goddess of youth.

[Edit this paragraph] Art works

Lacypus, also known as Farnese Herakles, is a marble replica with a height of 365,438+00 cm. Now it is collected in the National Gallery of Naples, Italy. It was originally used as a bronze statue. Lacypus was founded in the fourth century BC. In the 4th century BC, Greek society declined gradually due to long-term war, and the content of artistic expression was no longer the joy of victory in its heyday. There are more and more works describing characters' personalities, psychological contradictions and meditation pains, and their realistic ability and artistic expression skills are also more skilled. This statue of Hercules is a representative work of this era, showing the image of the hero Hercules resting after fatigue. In Greek mythology, Hercules is the greatest hero. He overcame many difficulties with tenacious fighting spirit, completed twelve dangerous tasks entrusted to him by the gods, and rescued Prometheus who stole fire for mankind. Hercules fought all his life and made great achievements, so the author chose the plot of his rest to express this great hero. In the statue, the human body is curved, the left leg supports the weight of the body, the left arm leans against the post, and the right arm is behind. This changeable attitude creates a more relaxed atmosphere. Although the characters are relaxed, they are still very strong, and there seems to be great power in the seemingly calm body. The statue's depiction of muscles is very exaggerated. Both the muscle volume and the sense of strength are saturated, which makes people feel as if they can burst into powerful energy at any time. The treatment of the body is not confused by the exaggeration of muscles, and the front side turns clearly, forming a solid and powerful overall shape. From the statue, we can also see Lisipas' aesthetic view of human body, that is, the length of the head is one-eighth of the body, which has a far-reaching impact on the later sculpture art.
