Not long ago, Zeus exiled his father Cronus and overthrew the ancient family of gods. Prometheus was born here.

Only God's family. Now, Zeus and his sons are the new masters in the sky, and they begin to pay attention to the newly formed human beings.

They demand that human beings respect them as a condition for protecting human beings. One day, in Mercon, Greece, the gods gathered together.

Will negotiate and determine the rights and obligations of human beings. Prometheus attended the meeting as a defender of mankind. At the meeting, he was established.

The law prevents the gods from demanding sacrifices because they promise to protect mankind. The son of Titan is determined to use his wisdom.

Huilai lied to the gods. He killed a big cow on behalf of his creation, and asked God to choose only the parts they liked. He offered

The sacrificial bull was cut into pieces and divided into two piles. A pile of meat, viscera, fat, covered with cowhide, with tripe on it.

Son; The other pile is full of cow bones, cleverly wrapped in beef suet. This pile is bigger than the other. Know everything.

Zeus, the father of Almighty God, saw through his trick and said, "Son of Partos, noble king, my good friend."

Friend, how unfair it is for you to share the sacrifice! "At this time, Prometheus became more and more convinced that he had fooled Zeus, so he smiled to himself.

He said: "Noble Zeus, the father of all gods, just choose a pile according to your own wishes!" " "Zeus was very angry,

But deliberately stretched out his hands to get white sheep fat. When he peeled off the suet and saw all the stripped bones, he has been pretending until now.

Only then did he realize that he had been cheated and said angrily, "I see, Iapetus's son, you haven't forgotten your deceptive words."

Two! "

Zeus was cheated and decided to get back at Prometheus. He refused to provide mankind with the last thing necessary for life:

It's on fire. But Iapetus's son was very alert and immediately came up with a clever idea. He brought thick and long fennel.

Straw, carrying it close to the coming solar car, put fennel straw into its flame and ignite it, and then return to the ground with a flashing light.

In fact, the first pile of firewood soon burned up, and the fire grew stronger and stronger, and the flames soared into the sky. Zeus flew into a rage when he saw the flames rising on the earth.

Isn't it, seeing that you can't take fire away from human beings, in order to offset the fire, you quickly come up with new disasters to punish human beings.

The welfare that society brings to mankind. He ordered hephaestus, the Vulcan, who is famous for his craftsmanship, to build a stone statue for a beautiful woman. Athena gradually

She was jealous of Prometheus and lost her kindness to him. She personally dressed the stone statue in a shiny white dress, covered it with a veil and hung her head.

She wore a wreath and a golden ribbon on her head. This golden ribbon is also made in hephaestus. In order to please his father, he is very careful

Heart-shaped production, exquisite gold belt, belt decorated with different animal images. Hermes, the messenger of the gods, gave this charming fan.

I was amazed at the incomparable beauty of this woman. She found Prometheus' brother Epimetheus,

Ask him to accept a gift from Zeus. Epimetheus has a kind heart and no suspicion.

Prometheus once warned his brother on Mount Olympus not to accept any gifts from Zeus, but to accept them immediately.

Give it back. However, Epimetheus forgot this warning and accepted this beautiful young woman happily. straight

It took him a hard time to realize that he had brought disaster. Before that, mankind listened to Prometheus' warning, because

There is no disaster, no hardship, no disease that afflicts people. Now, the girl has a present in her hand. this is

A big closed box. As soon as she arrived in Epimetheus, she suddenly opened the lid, and the disaster inside was like black smoke.

Like flying out, it quickly spread to the ground. There is only one beautiful thing hidden deep in the bottom of the box: hope, but Pandora.

According to the warning of the father of gods, close the lid before it flies out, so that hope will be kept in the box forever.

And silent, because Zeus wouldn't let them make a sound. All kinds of fevers are raging on the earth, and death is flying around people.

He said many words of sympathy and gave him a good scolding. Prometheus was forced to be locked on a cliff, and he was hung upright.

I can't sleep, bending my tired knees. "No matter how you complain and lament, it's useless.

The god of power is very cruel. "The prisoner was sentenced to torture is permanent, at least thirty thousand years. Although he is very big.

Crying sadly, calling for the wind, rivers, oceans and the mother of everything, and the sun watching everything to do painful things for him.

King Amphitryon learned from the mouth of a 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.
