The young passenger got on the minibus and held the reins happily. The four fast horses of the sun god felt that the load of the chariot was different from usual, so they ran wildly and left the original track. Worried Phaeton looked down from the zenith, pale and weak knees, and regretted driving his father's horse. The solar car has been rushing forward, just like a boat in the wind. The helmsman on the ship couldn't catch the rudder, so he let God push him.

Finally, the shaft diverged and the fragments of the broken car were scattered all over the floor.

Apollo's love story

According to legend, Daphne (Laurel Goddess) is a very beautiful goddess who once worshipped Apollo, the eldest son of Zeus. Finally, one day Apollo finally couldn't resist his love for the goddess laurel and pursued her. But because Apollo itself is the sun god, his body gathered a lot of heat energy, which made laurel unbearable, and once he got close, he was in danger of burning his skin. So every time Apollo chased laurel, she would hide. In this way, chasing and hiding, but this is not the way, finally Laurel can not stand it, she shouted for help. Her father couldn't stand his daughter suffering so much, so he opened a big crack in the earth. The laurel tree jumped into a big tree and grew out of the crack. From then on, this tree was called laurel. For some reason, Apollo thought that laurel would rather be a tree than be with him. It was not until one day that he suddenly realized that laurel had become a big tree because he was too hot. Apollo vowed to leave a cover for laurel forever. That is the sunspot we know now, the eternal cover left in the heart of the sun god, the cover he left for laurel. ....

In the air and hang him.

King Amphitryon learned from the mouth of the blind soothsayer that his son was extremely talented, and he was determined to let his son enjoy an education worthy of being a hero. He hired heroes from all over the world to teach young Hercules all kinds of skills. He personally taught him the skills of driving chariots; King Eurytos of Ocalia taught him to draw a bow and shoot arrows; Happel Kush taught him fighting and boxing; Mokas taught him to play the piano and sing. Casto, one of Zeus' twins, taught him to fight in the wild with all his weapons. Apollo's white-haired son Rinos taught him to read and write. Hercules showed his talent and ability to learn. But he can't stand the torture. Old Rinos is an impatient teacher. On one occasion, he hit Hercules for no reason. Hercules grabbed his harp and threw it at the teacher's head. The teacher immediately fell to the ground and died. Hercules regretted it very much, but he was taken to court. Radamantis, an upright and knowledgeable judge, acquitted him. The judge issued a new law that those who kill in self-defense are innocent. However, Amphitryon was worried that his powerful son would commit similar crimes in the future, so he sent him to the countryside to herd cattle. Heracles lived here year after year and grew tall and strong. He is more than ten feet tall, and his eyes are bright, like flickering coals. He is good at riding and shooting. He can shoot and throw a gun. By the time he was 0/8 years old, he had grown into the most handsome and strong man in Greece. He is facing the challenge of fate, and now it is time to see whether his martial arts and strength are used for benefit or evil.

Heracles left the shepherd and the cow and went to a quiet place to think about how to choose his life path. Suddenly, he saw two noble women coming face to face. A woman has all kinds of manners, noble and pure, modest eyes and polite manners, wearing a white robe. Another elegant, snow-white skin is painted with powder and perfume, and her posture is correct, which makes her look taller than she really is. Her eyes looked straight ahead, dressed appropriately, and showed infinite charm. She admired herself and looked around freely to see if anyone was looking at her with envy. When they approached, the latter woman grabbed the first few steps, got ahead of the first woman, walked up to the handsome Hercules and said hello, "Hercules, I can see that you are still hesitating and don't know what kind of life path to choose." If you choose me as your girlfriend, then I can take you to the most comfortable life path. When you get there, you can enjoy all the fun of life, and there will be no troubles and unevenness in life; You don't have to take part in any war, you don't have to worry about buying and selling, you just enjoy wine and food. You sleep in a warm and soft bed, and you don't have to do physical and mental work. You can enjoy the fruits of other people's labor and endless prosperity, because I have given my friends the right to enjoy everything. "

Hercules listened to this seductive remark and asked her in surprise, "Beautiful woman, what's your name?"

"My friends call me the goddess of happiness." She replied, "and those who want to belittle me say I am a frivolous girl."

Just then, another woman came to the front. "I've come to see you, dear Hercules." She said: "I know your father, your talent and your education, which give me hope." If you choose the path I show you, you will achieve all the good deeds and great events in the world. But I can't guarantee that you will enjoy the splendor. I just want to tell you how much the gods in heaven like you. However, all the gains will not fall from the sky. If you want God to protect you, you should worship them first. If you want to get the love of your friends, then you should do good for them. If you want the country to respect you, you should serve it; If you want all Greece to praise your virtue, then you should seek happiness for all Greece; As you sow, you reap. If you want to win the war, you must learn the art of war. If you want to keep a strong body, you should make it strong through hard work. "

The frivolous woman suddenly interrupted her words. "You see, my dear Hercules," she said, "how long and bumpy you have to go to achieve the goal she said. And I guide you to happiness in the most comfortable way. " "You are a lying woman," the kind woman said to her. "You have nothing beautiful. You don't know what true happiness is, because you were satisfied before you went to them. Whether you are hungry or thirsty, no soft and warm bed can satisfy you. You let your friends drink all night, sleep soundly during the day, and how many good times are wasted. When they were young, they lived a carefree life. When they were old, they were ashamed of the past. What about you? Although you are immortal, you are spurned by the gods and despised by the good world. You have never heard a compliment or done a good deed. On the contrary, I was welcomed by the gods and all the good people. Artists regard me as a messenger, my parents regard me as a loyal protector, and my servants regard me as a kind helper. I am a supporter of the cause of peace, a reliable ally in the war and a loyal friend. For my friends, eating and sleeping are more important than lazy people. Young people like to be praised by old people, and old people like to be respected by young people. They are satisfied with their past behavior and happy with what they are doing now. I make people respect customers, let them be blessed by God, loved by friends and respected by the country. When the end comes, they will not walk into the grave in obscurity and disgrace, but their glory will remain in the world and be admired by future generations. Ah, Hercules, if you choose this way of life, you will feel really happy. "

The two women finished and disappeared, leaving Hercules alone. He is determined to choose the road of virtue. Soon, he found an opportunity to do good. As we all know, Greece at that time was densely covered with jungles and swamps, and there were fierce lions, wild boars and other evil animals everywhere. Therefore, removing these evil obstacles and liberating Greece from this harmful beast is one of the great goals of ancient heroes.

Orestes and Nemesis.

Orestes killed his mother and her lover and avenged his father, which was in line with God's will, because the Oracle of Apollo told him to do so. However, filial piety to his father made him a murderer of his mother. Afterwards, the good weather made him love his mother. His behavior really violated the sin of the family and made him a victim of revenge. The Greeks called them Eumenides, the goddess of mercy, because they were afraid of revenge. They are the daughters of the night, as fierce as their mother. They are tall, with red eyes and poisonous snakes crawling between their hair. They held the torch in one hand and the whip wrapped by an adder in the other. No matter where the killer of his mother is, they always follow him and make his conscience suffer from remorse.

After Orestes killed his mother, the Nemesis immediately drove him crazy. Orestes left his sister, his father's palace and McKinney and wandered about. His faithful friend Pilate followed him all the time and was the only companion in his pain. But there is also a god who is helping him, and that is Apollo. Apollo once told him to take revenge and kill his mother, and now he is still with him, resisting the aggressive nemesis for him and not letting them hurt him. Whenever God only approaches Apollo, he feels calm and sober, otherwise, he becomes crazy.

The unfortunate couple arrived in Delphi after a long wandering. Orestes took refuge in the temple of Apollo, where Nemesis could not enter, and he got a moment's peace. He was exhausted by the long journey, and Apollo stood beside him sympathetically, inspiring his courage and hope. "Unfortunately, please don't worry! I won't leave you. No matter whether I am by your side or not, I will take care of you and never give in to your persecutor! Although I have to wander all the time, I will not wander aimlessly. You must go to Athens. I'll find you a fair court there, and you can defend yourself with confidence. Don't be afraid! I have to leave you now, but my brother Hermes will protect you.

The vengeance fell asleep in front of the temple, which was a gift from Apollo. Suddenly, the ghost of Clytaemestra appeared in their dreams. She angrily condemned Nemesis: "Why did you fall asleep? Listen, I'm Clytaemestra, and you promised to avenge me. Orestes, the mother killer, escaped! " With that, she shook her revenge out of her dream. Nemesis jumped up and ran to the temple without scruple. "Son of Zeus," they shouted to Apollo, "don't insult others! How dare you protect the mother's murderer from us to punish him! You stole him from us! A god only does this, right? "

Apollo banished the terrible Nemesis from his temple. "Get out!" He said loudly. Nemesis loudly stated their rights, but all this was useless. Apollo claimed that he ordered Orestes to avenge his father, and he had an obligation to protect him. Finally, Nemesis had to retreat and run away quickly.

So Apollo paid Orestes and his friend Pilade miroslav stoch to protect them, and he returned to the Holy Mountain of Olympus. The vengeance was afraid of Hermes' golden staff, but just followed at a distance. But then they became more and more brave. When they arrived in Athens safely, the Nemesis was behind them. As soon as Orestes and his friend Pilate entered the temple gate of Athena, the terrible vengeance broke in.

Orestes crouched in front of the statue of Athena, stretched out her hands to the goddess and begged, "Athena, I came to seek your protection under the orders of Apollo. Please kindly take me in. My hands are not stained with innocent blood. Revenge wears me out. I followed your brother's wishes and came to your side through countless cities and wilderness. I asked your referee in front of your statue! "

The vengeance suddenly said loudly behind him, "you criminal, we follow in your footsteps, just like hounds chasing deer." We followed your bloody footprints into the temple gate! " ! Mother killer, you will never find a hiding place! Neither Apollo nor Athena can save you from permanent pain! Come on, sisters, let's dance around him and drive him crazy with our songs! "

Just as they were about to sing, a divine light lit up the temple, and the statue of Athena suddenly disappeared, and Athena herself stood there. Athena stared at a group of people in front of her with blue eyes.

"Who dares to break in and disturb the peace of the temple?" The goddess asked, "What kind of guests I saw in the temple! A foreigner hugged my altar, and three women who were not like mortals stood behind him angrily. Tell me, who are you? What do you want? "

Orestes trembled with fear. He fell to the ground and dared not say a word. The vengeance immediately replied, "Daughter of Zeus, we are the daughters of the vengeance of the night. The man who defiled your altar killed his own mother. Please judge him, and we will respect your judgment. We know that you are a strict and fair goddess! "

"If you want me to judge," Pallas Athena replied, "then, stranger, how will you refute the charges against these three goddesses? Please tell me first, who is your ancestor? Where is your hometown? What's the matter with you? Then, you can wash away the sins you are accused of! "

Orestes boldly raised his head at this moment, but still knelt on the ground and said, "Athena! I didn't commit an unforgivable murder; I won't hold your altar with dirty hands! I come from Argos; You may know my father. His name is Agamemnon. He was the military commander of the expedition to Troy. With your help, he destroyed the Acropolis in Priam. However, he was killed after the triumph. My mother hooked up with her lover, covered my dad with a net while he was taking a shower and killed him with a knife. I was exiled for a long time, and then I returned to my motherland to avenge my father. I don't deny that I killed my mother to avenge my father. Your brother Apollo told me to do this. His Oracle told me that if I didn't punish my father's murderer, I would be tortured forever. Ah, goddess, now please judge whether I am right or unreasonable. "

The goddess pondered silently for a while, and then said, "The case I want to decide is so strange and complicated that it is almost impossible for a court on earth to decide." Although I will still ask the judges all over the world to judge, it is reasonable for you to come to me first. I will call the judge to the temple to preside over the trial. If the judge finds it difficult to make a decision, I will preside over the trial. In the meantime, the stranger will be protected by me, and he can live in our city. And you tyrannical divines, please go back and don't defile my temple. Don't come here again before the trial. Both sides should look for evidence and witnesses, and I will choose the most upright and wise person in this city to try this case, because this city is named after me! "

The date of the trial arrived, and an angel invited all the people selected by Athena to a hillside in front of the city. This is a hill dedicated to the temple of Ares, so it is called Mount Ares. The goddess Athena is waiting on the mountain. Both the plaintiff and the defendant have arrived. At this time, a foreigner also came and stood next to the defendant. In fact, this is Apollo. Revenge When Devise saw Apollo, he was frightened and shouted, "Apollo, you should mind your own business! What are you doing here? " "This man," God only replied, "is what I should protect. He once fled to Delphi and took refuge in my temple. I washed away the blood for him, so it was right for me to stand with him. Because I persuaded him to kill his mother and told him that this was a pious act that God only welcomed! "

Now, Athena stands up and demands revenge. Divines filed a lawsuit. "We can ask questions directly," said the oldest Nemesis. "Defendant, please answer my question: Did you kill your mother?" "I don't deny it." Orestes said, but he was scared to death. "How did you kill her?"

"I," replied the defendant, "cut her neck with my sword."

"Who told you to do this?"

"God standing next to me just instructed me with the Oracle and told me to do so. He is here and can testify for me. " Orestes replied. Then he defended himself. When he killed Clytaemestra, he didn't regard her as his mother, but as the murderer of his father. Apollo also gave a wonderful speech to defend him. But revenge is not to be outdone, they retort. Apollo described the tragic scene of Agamemnon's murder and thought it was a heinous crime. On the other hand, Nemesis pointed out that killing mother is a heinous crime. When they finished the debate, the goddess who presided over the trial spoke. She said: "Now wait for the judges' decision! " "

Athena distributed black and white pebbles to each judge, with black pebbles indicating guilt and white pebbles indicating innocence. The small bowl for throwing stones is placed in the middle of the clearing and surrounded by a fence. Before the judge voted, the goddess stood up from the seat of the chief judge and said, "Citizens of Athens, please listen to the founder of your city: today, you started the first court trial." In the future, you will always keep this kind of court, which is located on this sacred Mount Ares. Once upon a time, when the Amazon people opposed theseus, the heroine of the enemy was stationed here to worship the God of War, hence the name of this mountain. In the future, this is a solemn court to try the murder of relatives. The court will be composed of the most fair and honest people in this city. They should not be bribed. They are honest and strict, and do their best to protect all people. You should all maintain its dignity and regard it as the pillar of the whole city. There is no such sacred place in other parts of Greece or abroad. This is my hope for the future. Now, judges, please stand up, remember your vows and vote for the referee! "

The judges stood up silently from their seats, lined up, walked to the small bowl and threw the voting stone in. When all the people voted, another group of residents stood up and counted the black and white stones put in the bowl. It turns out that the number of two kinds of stones is equal. At this time, the decision is in her hands. Athena stood up from her seat and said, "I was not born to my mother." I jumped out of the head of my father Zeus, so I defended the rights of mankind. " I can't take the side of a woman who kills her husband shamelessly. I think Orestes's behavior is reasonable. He didn't kill his mother, but the murderer of his father. He should still be alive! "Say that finish, she left the judgment seat, picked up a white stone and threw it into the bowl. Then, she returned to her seat and solemnly announced: "After voting, most people think that Orestes is innocent and he is free! "

Orestes asked to speak after she finished this sentence, and he said emotionally; "pallas, the goddess of Athena, hey, I am a person who has been deprived of the motherland. You saved me and my family. All Greeks will praise your kindness. They will say: Orestes, a argus, returned to the palace of his ancestors, and the justice of Athena, Apollo and the father of the gods saved him. Otherwise it wouldn't have happened. I am about to return to China, and I would like to take this opportunity to swear to the countries and people here that Argos will never wage war against the Athenians. If my people dare to break this oath after my death, my soul will come out of the grave to punish him! Goodbye, the outstanding goddess of justice! Goodbye, pious people of Athens! I wish you victory in wartime, obey God's will in peacetime, and be happy and prosperous! "

With that, Orestes and his friends left the sacred Mount Ares. Nemesis dare not offend those who are acquitted. Besides, she was afraid of the divine power of Apollo, and even more afraid to make a move. However, the older spokeswoman among them still stood up and refused to accept the judgment of the goddess, and boldly opposed the judgment that had been made with a hoarse voice of terror. "Oh, my God! You young gods have only trampled on ancient laws. However, you Athenians will regret today's verdict! The venom of resentment flows in our angry hearts, and we will spread the venom all over this land. Our humiliated and ridiculed night goddess will make cities and villages barren and let the plague spread. "

Apollo was very worried when he heard their terrible curse. He tried to dissuade them and calm them down. "You shouldn't be angry at the verdict! This is not your failure and shame. There are equal numbers of black stones and white stones in the bowl. The judges have not wronged you. The defendant must choose between two sacred obligations. Of course he has to give up one of them when choosing. Compassion has won here. Our god is only responsible for judging, so we can't blame the judges of the court. This is the will of Zeus! You shouldn't vent your anger on innocent people. I assure you with in the name of people that you will gain a prominent position here and enjoy sacred honor. The people of this city will make sacrifices every year and worship you as a righteous and ruthless nemesis! "

Athena also reiterated this commitment. She said: "Dear gods, please believe me, the citizens of this city are willing to worship you;" Men, women and children will praise you; They will build your temple next to the temple of King Erechtheus! People who don't worship you will not be well-off! "

Revenge gradually calmed her anger at this promise, and they amicably agreed to live in Athens. They think they can have a temple in the most prestigious city like Athena and Apollo, which is the supreme honor. As a result, they became extremely gentle, solemnly vowed before the gods to protect the city from drought, plague and bad storms, let livestock thrive, get married happily, and cooperate with their half-sisters to benefit the local people in various ways. They want people to live in harmony and peace. Finally, the goddess of the night left Athens. Athena and Apollo thanked them again and again. All the Athenian citizens sang hymns and sent them out of the city.
