There are two sources of western culture: one is Greek culture, the other is Hebrew culture, and Greek mythology in Greek culture has a wide influence on English. In modern English, many words come from the names of gods in Greek and Roman mythology and still play an important role today. Today, I learned some words from Greek mythical figures.

1, flora:

The flower god in ancient Greek and Roman mythology. She married Zephyr, the god of the west wind, and her husband gave her a garden full of exotic flowers and plants. In spring, Flora and her husband, Zephyr, walked arm in arm in the garden, and flowers were everywhere they walked. Flora means "plant" in modern English. Derivative words: flowers, flowers, flowers, flower shops.

2. Muse mused:

The god in charge of art in Greek mythology. * * * Nine, namely history, lyric poetry, comedy (pastoral poetry), tragedy, song and dance, love poems, carols, astronomy and epics. The word music is derived from the art of Muse, and the place where Muse collects works of art is the museum. The happiness brought by art is inspiration and entertainment.

3. Pan:

Pastoral gods and forest gods roar loudly when disturbed. Derivative word: panic.

4. Titan:

One of the giants who once ruled the world. Titan refers to tall and strong people and important people in modern English. The derivative word Titanic means huge. "Titanic" was named after it.

5. West Wind (ZeFeros):

6. Atlas:

Atlas, one of the Titan gods in Greek mythology, was punished at the western end of the world for betraying Zeus. Other derivatives: Atlantic.

7. Ceres:

Crop protector. In ancient Rome, when there was a drought, priests turned to witches for divination. As a result of divination, a new goddess Zeus was established and offered her sacrifice, so that she would bring rain to the earth. Since then, Ceres has become the patron saint of crops. Grain comes from Latin, which means "Ceres" belongs to the goddess of grain. Derivative: cereal (cereal, breakfast cereal).

8. kronos:

Father of Zeus. Afraid of children rebelling against themselves, they once swallowed their offspring. Like ruthless time, it devours everything. So the root "chron" means "time". Derivative words: chronic (time-consuming, chronic); Chronology (year)

9. Eros (EROS):

Love God. Is a beautiful boy with wings, equivalent to Cupid in Roman mythology. Whether it is eros or Cupid, they do nothing all day, flying around in the sky to practice archery, which makes everyone panic.
