Myth is the literary style of human childhood and the oldest thinking form of human beings. It can only be produced in the early stage of the development of human history, in an era when human beings can't scientifically explain external phenomena. Marx pointed out that myth is "the natural and social form itself processed by human fantasy in an unconscious artistic way".

Greek mythology is the earliest oral creation of people in Europe, which came into being between12nd century BC and 8th century BC. It has been handed down from generation to generation by the ancient Greeks for hundreds of years, and it has been continuously processed and preserved in various literary, historical and philosophical works.

Greek mythology includes stories of gods and legends of heroes. The story of God involves the origin of the universe and mankind, the appearance of God and its pedigree. According to legend, there were twelve gods in ancient Greece: Zeus, the Lord of the gods, his wives Hera and Poseidon, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, Apollo, the goddess of hunting and the moon, Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, Ares, Hermes, Demeter and Hestia, the gods of Vulcan and craftsman hephaestus. They are in charge of all kinds of phenomena and things in nature and life, forming the olimp God system centered on Zeus and the olimp God system centered on Zeus.

The legend of heroes originated from the worship of ancestors, and was an artistic review of ancient history and the struggle with nature by the ancient Greeks. Most of these legendary heroes are descendants of the man of God, who are demigods and demigods. They have extraordinary physical strength and courage, which embodies the heroic spirit and tenacious will of human beings to conquer nature and becomes the embodiment of the collective strength and wisdom of ancient people. The most famous legends are Heracles's Twelve Achievements and Jason's golden fleece.

In Greek mythology, God and man are similar. Some people are physically beautiful, others are secular, know the joys and sorrows, and participate in people's activities. The only difference between God and man is that the former lives forever and has no period of death; The latter's life is limited, birth and death. The gods in Greek mythology have distinct personalities, no asceticism and little mysticism. Therefore, Greek mythology is not only the soil of Greek literature, but also has a far-reaching influence on later European literature.

The first chapter Prometheus

Heaven and earth were created, and the waves of the sea rose and fell, beating against the coast. Fish play in the water and birds sing in the air. big

There are many animals on the ground, but no advanced creature with soul can dominate the world around. So Prometheus

When he was born, he was a descendant of the ancient God-only family exiled by Zeus, and was the Partos born to his mother Gaia and Uranus.

The son of. He was smart and wise, knowing that the seeds of gods were hidden in the soil, so he picked up the soil and moistened it with river water.

Harmony, according to the master of the world, that is, the appearance of the gods, is shaped into a human form. In order to give life to the clay figurine, he took it from animals.

The soul takes two kinds of characters, good and evil, and is sealed in people's chest. Among the gods, he has a girlfriend, namely wisdom.

Goddess Athena; She was amazed at the creation of Son of God Titan, so she blew on this clay figurine with only half a soul and made it.

It gained spirituality.

In this way, the first batch of people appeared in the world. They thrived and soon formed a huge group, which spread all over the country. But there are many

For a long time, they didn't know how to use their limbs, nor did they know how to use the soul given by God. They saw it.

Invisible, inaudible, like a human figure in a dream, walking aimlessly, but not knowing how to play its role. he

Scientists don't know how to stone, burn bricks, cut down trees to make rafters, and then build houses with these materials. They are like ants.

Just like living in a cave without sunshine, you won't notice that winter has gone, spring has come, and summer solstice has come; They do everything without a plan.

So Prometheus came to help his creation. He taught them to observe the rise and fall of the sun, moon and stars; give him

Scientists invented numbers and words to let them know how to calculate and exchange ideas with words; He also taught them to ride animals to share him.

Children's labor makes them know how to put a reins on a horse to pull a cart or be a mount. He invented ships and sails to sail on the sea.

All right. He cares about all other activities in human life. Once upon a time, sick people didn't know how to treat diseases with drugs or how to apply ointment.

Or take medicine to relieve pain, many patients died tragically because of lack of medicine. Now, Prometheus teaches them to make drugs.

Drugs for preventing and treating various diseases. In addition, he taught them divination, explained dreams, and explained the signs of flight and sacrifice of various birds.

He guided them to explore underground mineral deposits and let them discover mineral deposits and mine iron and gold and silver. He taught them agricultural techniques and let him

Children live more comfortably.

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.

The human body teaches language skills; Aphrodite, the goddess of love, endowed her with various attractive charms. So Zeus gave this beautiful shape.

The elephant was injected with a vicious disaster. He named her Pandora, which means "a woman with all talents" because all the gods gave her gifts.

Give her a gift that harms mankind. He sent this young woman to earth, a wandering god who enjoyed herself on the ground.

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 are no disasters, no hardships, and no diseases that afflict 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.

Yes Since then, all kinds of disasters have flooded the earth, the sky and the ocean. Diseases spread and wreak havoc among human beings day and night,

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.

Run wild. Then Zeus took revenge on Prometheus himself. He gave the enemy to hephaestus and two servants.

In their hands, these two servants are nicknamed Kratos and Pia, which means strength and violence. They dragged Prometheus to scottie.

The barren hills of Asia. Here, he was locked by a strong chain on the hanging rock of Caucasus Mountain and went down to the terrible abyss. Gerbe

Toth is unwilling to carry out his father's orders because he likes the son of Titan very much. He is his relative and contemporaries.

The descendants of his great-grandfather Uranus are also descendants of God. However, the two rude servants who carried out the cruel orders were due to

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.

Hephaestus said to him, "Because Zeus's will is unshakable, these have only recently gained power from others.

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.

Card, but his spirit is indestructible "No matter who learns to realize the irresistible force of fate,"

He said, "You must bear the pain of destiny takes a hand." Zeus repeatedly threatened him to explain his unlucky prophecy, namely

"A new marriage will destroy the king of the gods", but he never spoke. Zeus kept his promise and sent one every day.

An evil eagle pecked Prometheus' liver. How much the liver eats will soon return to its original state. This painful fold

He had to put up with it until someone died for him voluntarily in the future.

(1) refers to the marriage with the sea goddess thetis. His son has more power than his father.

The day has finally come to relieve the suffering of the unfortunate Prometheus. Now he is hanging from a hanging rock and has spent a long time in sorrow.

One day after the tragedy, Hercules came here to look for Hesperides. He saw the evil eagle pecking at the poor.

Prometheus' liver, then he took out his bow and arrow and shot down this cruel and evil eagle from the side of the liver of the suffering person.

Fall down. Then he loosened the chain, liberated Prometheus and took him away from the cliff. But in order to meet the conditions of Zeus, Hera

Cyrus left the Chiron Star of Ken Taulos, a centaur, on the cliff and became his body double. Although Kay Long Xing can claim eternal life, but for

In order to save Prometheus, he was willing to give his life. In order to carry out Zeus' judgment thoroughly, Prometheus must always

Put an iron ring on the Caucasus Mountain with stones. In this way, Zeus can proudly claim that his enemy is still

However, he was locked on the cliff of Caucasus Mountain.
