Who can tell me four Greek myths?

Zeus is the first god in the sky, a thor, and a god of happiness who benefits the world. Zeus sometimes took his son Hermes, disguised as a poor pedestrian, dressed casually, and lived in people's homes in the village in order to investigate the situation on the earth. 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 room. 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. The old man kindly asked Zeus to forgive the villagers, so Zeus uprooted a towering tree and let it fly. The old man rode this big tree to save the villagers trapped in the flood. After some villagers climbed the tree, they found another person trapped in the water because there was no place to come up, and then the cruel villagers pushed the old man into the water. Seeing this, Zeus could no longer hold back his anger, sank the tree to the bottom and saved the old man to the top of the mountain. In great anger, there was a bigger flood. 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! The old couple whispered to each other for a while and 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.

2. The story of Athena and alcmene

In ancient Greek mythology, there was an earthly girl named alcmene who had extraordinary skills in knitting and embroidery. When girls are working, even divines in the Woods and fountains flock to watch. People will say that Athena taught her herself. But Lacny denied this, saying that she was a student of the goddess, and she felt unbearable. Let Athena compete with me, she said. If I lose, I will be punished. Athena was very unhappy after hearing the news. She turned into an old woman, came to alcmene and gave her friendly advice: I have a lot of experience, she said. I hope you don't despise my advice. If you like, compete with your fellow human beings, but never with the goddess. Alcmene stopped spinning and glared at the old woman. She said, leave your advice to your daughter or maid. I'm not afraid of that goddess. If she dares, let her show her skill. When she came, Athena put down her disguise and stood there to prove her identity. Alcmene is not afraid. She never wavered, and her blind confidence in her skills drove her to choose her own destiny. Athena couldn't stand it any longer and didn't give any advice. They started the competition, and both of them took their positions and connected the cloth to the truss. Both of them work very fast, and their skillful hands move quickly, and they are not tired because of the excitement brought by the game. Athena weaves the scene of her match with Poseidon on the fabric. The Twelve Gods appeared on the screen. Zeus sat majestically in the middle. Poseidon was holding his trident in his hand, as if he had just hit the ground and a horse was jumping out of the ground. Athena portrayed herself as wearing a helmet and protecting her chest with a shield. This is the central circle of the pattern. The four corners of the pattern are scenes where some gods are angry because some arrogant mortals dare to compete with them; This is used to warn her opponent and persuade her to give up the game in time. Alcmene deliberately weaved a theme in his own design to show God's shortcomings and mistakes. One scene describes Leda stroking a swan, which is actually the incarnation of Zeus; Another painting depicts Shen Jianing being locked in a copper tower by her father, and the main god Zeus turned into a golden rain and poured into the copper tower. The other is about how Europa was deceived by Zeus who became a bull. Alcmene fills her canvas with similar themes, which is really wonderful, but it obviously shows her arrogance and disrespect for God. Athena had to admire her craftsmanship, but at the same time she was angry at her insult. She pounded the fabric with the shuttle and smashed it to pieces. Then she touched alcmene's forehead, which made her feel guilty and ashamed. Alcmene couldn't stand it, so he hanged himself. Athena saw her hanging on the rope and moved with compassion. Live, she said, sinful woman. In order to make you remember this lesson forever, you and your descendants will hang on forever. She spilled olive juice on alcmene, and her hair was immediately peeled off, and her nose and ears fell off. Her figure shrank, her head became smaller, and her fingers clung to her sides and became feet. The rest is the body. She spins out of her body and often hangs on a hairspring, just as Athena met her and turned her into a spider.

3. The love story between Apollo and Daphne

Once, Apollo saw little love god Cupid playing with bows and arrows. He rudely warned Cupid, "Hey! Bows and arrows are very dangerous things, so children should not play casually. " It turns out that Cupid in little love god has two very special arrows: whoever is shot with a sharp arrow made of gold will immediately ignite the passion of love; If someone is shot by another blunt lead arrow, he will hate love. Cupid didn't believe what Apollo said. While Apollo was not paying attention, he shot the arrow of love at Apollo with a whoosh, and Apollo immediately ignited the flame of love. Just then, a beautiful girl named Daphne came. Naughty Cupid shot a blunt lead arrow at Daphne, and Daphne was immediately disgusted with love. At this time, Apollo, who was shot by the arrow of love, had fallen in love with Daphne deeply, so he immediately confessed to Daphne. But Daphne said unhappily, "Go away! I hate love! Stay away from me! " He ran into the valley like an antelope. But Apollo didn't lose heart in the pursuit of Daphne. He picked up the harp and played beautiful music. No matter who hears Apollo's piano, he can't help coming to listen to his performance. Daphne, who was hiding in the mountains, also heard the beautiful piano and was intoxicated unconsciously. "Where did you get such a touching piano sound? I want to see who is playing. " With that, Daphne had long been fascinated by the sound of the piano and went to Apollo. Apollo, who was hiding behind a big stone and playing the harp, immediately jumped out and hugged Daphne. Daphne ran away when she saw Apollo. Apollo chased after him and shouted, "I am not your enemy, nor a fierce beast, nor an unreasonable fool." Why are you avoiding me? " Although Apollo kept calling Daphne at the back, Daphne ignored it and continued to gallop forward. No matter how fast Daphne runs, he can't outrun Apollo. After running for a long time, Daphne was exhausted and out of breath. Finally, she fell to the ground and watched Apollo catch up. Daphne was so anxious that she shouted, "Help! Help! " At that time, the river god heard Daphne's cry for help and immediately turned her into a laurel tree with his own divine power. I saw Daphne's hair turned into leaves, her wrists into branches, her legs into trunks, her feet and toes into roots, and she was deeply rooted in the soil. Apollo was very sad to see it. He cried sadly with the laurel in his arms, but the laurel kept shaking. Although Daphne has become a laurel, Apollo still loves her. Apollo stared at the laurel tree and said spoonily, "Although you can't be my wife, I will always love you.". I will use your branches and leaves as my laurel, your wood as my harp and your flowers as my bow. At the same time, I will give you eternal youth and will not get old. " Daphne, who became a laurel tree, was deeply moved and nodded her thanks. Perhaps thanks to Apollo, laurel is evergreen all the year round, and it is a kind of plant deeply loved by people. Many people can't understand what they are singing when listening to the song Laurel Goddess, but I especially like this song, not because of the goddess Daphne, but because of god of light Apollo, his passionate love and courage, his eternal love and emotion. I feel sorry for the helplessness of love.

4. Pandora's box

Pandora's box, also called Pandora's box, Pandora's box, is a classic Greek myth. Pandora is the first human woman created by Zeus, mainly to get back at mankind. Because Prometheus among the gods cared too much about human beings, he angered Zeus. Zeus first ordered hephaestus, the god of fire, to mix water and earth into a lovely woman according to the image of the goddess. Then he ordered Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, to be poured with hormones that make men crazy; Goddess Athena teaches women to weave and make beautiful clothes in various colors, which makes women look more colorful and charming. After completing all the formalities, Zeus sent the messenger Hermes to say, "Put your cunning, cheating, cheating and stealing personality in!" " A complete woman is finally finished. The gods dressed her in clothes, rabbit hats and beads, as beautiful as a bride. Hamish suggested, "Call this woman Pandora. This is a gift from God to mankind. " All the gods agreed with his suggestion. In ancient Greek, Pan meant everything and Dora was a gift. When Zeus competed for the world of God, he got the help of Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus and was able to ascend the throne. Prometheus' name means "foresight". And his brother Epimetheus means "regret", so the styles of the two brothers are like their names, with the characteristics of "foresight" and "regret". After Pandora was created, she was given to Epimetheus under the arrangement of Zeus. Because he knew that Prometheus would not accept his gift, he gave it to Epimetheus from the beginning. Epimetheus accepted her. At the wedding, Zeus ordered the gods to put a gift in a box as a gift for Pandora. It is not clear whether God's gift is good or bad. Epimetheus's brother Prometheus warned Epimetheus not to accept gifts from Zeus, especially women, because women are dangerous animals. Epimetheus, like his name, began to regret it soon after he married Pandora. Pandora gave birth to seven sons for Epimetheus, but after Pandora gave birth to his sons, Zeus sealed them in a box called Pandora's Box. Pandora was so angry that she secretly opened the box to see her son. As soon as I saw it, all his first six sons flew out. Their names are greed, killing, fear, pain, disease and desire. Since then, the world has been troubled, but Pandora's seventh son is called hope. Although people are suffering from greed, killing, fear, pain, disease and desire, they have not retreated because they still have hope!
