at olympus zeus ruled as the father of gods and men. zeus was not a crude
ruler by any standards.all the gods listened to his final words ,it was
true.but zeus made them all sit on a committee of twelve members,including
six gods and six goddesses. the first in the olympian crowd sat zeus himself.

they frequently gave way to anger and jealousy.they became involved in
ceaseless battles with the world of man. among themselves at olympus they
plotted and struggled for power.in the human world they experienced competitions
and difficulties.they enjoyed earthly friendships and loves.acrowd of
everlasting gods looked and acted in a perfectly human fashion that is
what all gods at olympus actually were. 奥林波斯山神在马其顿和希腊东部
的色萨利之间矗立着一座高山.大雾弥漫的山顶直插云霄.山顶上,众神们的家
园沐浴在阳光之中.宙斯作为山神和人类之父主宰着那里的一切.总的说来,宙
斯并不是一个独裁统治者.但毫无疑问,凡事山神们都要听从他的命令.宙斯将
男女山神12人组成一个委员会,宙斯本人则坐第一把交椅,是众神与人类的太上
皇,也是雷电的操纵者.他旁边是他那傲慢且嫉妒的皇后赫拉.波塞冬是大海的
统治者.哈得斯是主宰阴间的冥王,他在委员会中没有席位.阿波罗是太阳神、
音乐和诗神.他的孪生姐妹阿耳特弥斯是月亮和狩猎女神.雅典娜是智慧女神和
家居艺术品的守护女神.赫提斯是家室之神,象征着家庭中的生命与幸福.气势
汹汹的阿瑞斯是战神.媚人的阿芙罗狄蒂是爱与美神.火神赫菲斯托斯是宙斯雷

墨特尔负责管理农业,她是文明之母.以上所提到的主要天神们都假装成凡人的
样子,他们的美丽与魅力无可匹敌.因常受到凡人情感与愿望的感染,他们不时
地勃然大怒,妒嫉别人.他们卷入与人类世界无休止的争斗中.在奥林波斯,他
们之间也充满了阴谋与权力之争.在凡人的世界里,他们经历了敌对与挫折.他
们珍惜人间的爱与友善.这群长生不老的天神们的外表与行为完全符合人间的方
式.这就是奥林波斯山神们的本来面目.
Pandora after the stealing of fire,zeus became increasingly unkind
to men.one day he ordered his son hephaestus tobuild an image of a beautiful
maiden out of clay.he then asked the gods and goddesses to award her with
different kinds of gifts.among others ,athena clothed her in an attractive
coat and hermes gave her the power of telling lies.a charming young lady,
she was the first woman that ever lived.zeus called her pandora.because
she had received from each of the gods and goddesses a gift.the gift was
harmful to men. zeus decided to send her down to men as a present.so hermes
them essenger brought her to epimetheus ,brother of prometheus.the greatness
of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her ,and epimetheus
happily received her into his house.he had quite forgotten pometheus'
warning ：never to accept anything from zeus.the couple lived a happy
life for some time.then trouble came on to the human world. when he was
busy with teaching men the art of living,prometheus had left a bigcask
in the care of epimetheus.he had warned his brother not to open the lid.pandora
was a curious woman.she had been feeling very disappointed that her husband
did not allow her to take a look at the contents of the cask.one day,
when epimetheus was out ,she lifted the lid and out itcame unrest and
war ,plague and sickness ,theft and violence, grief sorrow ,and all
the other evils.the human world was hence to experience these evils.only
hope stayed within the mouth of the jar and never flew out.so men always
have hope within their hearts.潘多拉偷窃天火之后,宙斯对人类的敌意与日俱增.一天,他令儿子赫菲斯托斯用泥塑一美女像,并请众神赠予她不同的礼物.
其中,雅典娜饰之以华丽的衣裳,赫耳墨斯赠之以说谎的能力.世上的第一个女人是位迷人女郎,因为她从每位神灵那里得到了一样对男人有害的礼物,因此宙斯称她为潘多拉（pander：意为煽动）.宙斯决定把她作为礼物送给世间的男子.
于是信使赫耳墨斯将她带给普罗米修斯的弟弟厄庇墨透斯.她姿容绝美,见者无不为之倾心.厄庇墨透斯兴高采烈地把她迎入屋内.普罗米修斯警告过他不得接受宙斯的任何馈赠,而他已将之忘于脑后.这一对夫妻有过一段幸福的生活,但不久灾难却降临人间.当普罗米修斯忙于教授人们生存之道的时候,他把一个桶托付给厄庇墨透斯.他警告过他的弟弟不要打开桶盖.潘多拉好奇心强.她的丈夫不允许她看桶中之物,这使她感到十分懊恼.一天乘厄庇墨透斯出门在外,她打开桶盖,从桶里跑出的是不和与战争,瘟疫与疾病,偷窃与暴力,悲哀与忧虑,以及其他一些人类从此要遭受的不幸.只有希望被关在桶口,永远飞不出来,因此人们常常把希望藏于心中.
【二.阿波罗】
Apollo among the crowd of olympian gods the one most widely admired
was apollo.he was the son of zeus and let to.according to greek mythology,
leto was driven by hera from land to land at last poseidon took pity on
her and brought the island of delos out of water for her to live on.there
she gave birth to the twins ,apollo and artemis. apollo was me sun-god.he
wore a purple robe.he usually sat in his bright eastern palace early in
the morning and madeready to start his daily journey across the sky.during
the day hed rove his carriage of gold and ivory , and brought light,
life and love to the great world below. iate in the afternoon he came
to the end of his journey in the far western sea and got on his golden
boat to return to his eastern home. apollo was the god of music and poetry.he
could stir up all feelings.these feelings are expressed in lofty songs.with
his lyre of gold and the sweet accents of his godlike voice heled the
choir of the muses at olympus.the pleasant music from his lyre was so
exciting that stones marched into their places in rhythmic time and of
their own will when he helped poseidonbuild up the walls of troy.on one
occasion,invited to a contest by the human musician marsyas,he won and
then flayed him to death for his pride.on another occasion,he lost out
topan at a musical contest and turned the ears of the judge ,king midas,
into those of an ass. his son ,orpheus ,took over such skill from the
father that his lyre moved man and animals alike. apollo stood for youthful
and manly beauty.his goldenhair ,stately manner and air all combined
to make him the admiration of the world.a beautiful girl,by the name
of clytle ,was so fond of his beauty and glory that from dawn to dusk
she knelt on the ground ,her hands outstretched towards the sungod ,
and her eyes looked at his golden wheeled carriage racing across the blue
sky.though her love was not returned,she had never changed her mind about
apollo.the gods were moved at the sad sight ,and changed her into a sunflower.
阿波罗在众多的奥林波斯山神中,主神宙斯和雷托之子阿波罗最受推崇.据希腊
神话记载,雷托被天后赫拉驱赶得四处流浪.最终是海神波塞冬怜悯她并从海中
捞起提落岛让她居住.在岛上,她生了孪生儿子阿波罗和阿尔特弥斯.阿波罗是
太阳神.清晨他身着紫色袍,坐在那明亮的东方宫殿,准备开始每日穿越天空的
旅行.白天,他驾着用金子和象牙制成的战车,给广阔无垠的大地带来光明、生
命和仁爱.黄昏时分,他在遥远的西海结束了旅行,然后就乘上金船返回东方的
家中.阿波罗是音乐神和诗神.他可唤起人们倾注于圣歌中的各种情感.在奥林
波斯山上,他手拿金质里拉,用悦耳的音调指挥缪斯的合唱.当他帮助波塞冬建
造特洛伊城墙时,里拉奏出的音乐如此动听,以致石头有节奏地、自动地各就其
位.有一次他接受凡人音乐家马斯亚斯的挑战参加一次竞赛.战胜对方后,他将
对手剥皮致死以惩罚他的狂妄自大.在另外一次音乐比赛中,因输给了潘神,他
就将裁判迈尔斯国王的耳朵变成了驴耳朵.阿波罗的儿子俄耳甫斯继承了父亲这
方面的才能.他的竖琴使人与动物皆受感动.阿波罗象征着青春和男子汉的美.
金色的头发、庄重的举止、容光焕发的神态,这些足以使他受到世人的青睐.
一位名叫克里提的美丽少女迷恋于他的英俊潇洒,跪在地上,从黎明到黄昏,双
手伸向太阳神.她凝视着那辆金质马车在蔚蓝的天空驰骋.虽然她的爱并未得到
回报,但她对阿波罗的痴情却从未改变.目睹这悲哀的场面,众神深受感动,将
她变成了一株向日葵.
【三.普罗米修斯】
Prometheus prometheus was a titan .in the war between zeus the giants
he had stood on the side of the new olympiangods.out of the clay he made
the first man ,to whom athena gave soul and holy breath.prometheus spent
a lot of time and energy in creating the gift of fire.and fire raised
man above all animals .later,there held a joint meeting of gods and men.the
meeting was to decide what part of burnt animals should begiven to gods
and what to men.prometheus cut up an ox and divided it into two parts
：under the skin he placed the fresh,and under the fat he put the bones,
for he knew the selfish zeus loved fat. zeus saw through the trick and
felt displeased at the prometheus' favor towards men.so in a masterful
way he took away the gift of fire from mankind.however,prometheus managed
to steal fire from heaven and secretly brought it down tomen.flying into
an anger at this unjustified act of rebellion ,zeus let the other gods
chain prometheus to a rock on mountain caucasus ,where a hungry eagle
ever tore at his liver which ever grew again.his period of pain was to
be thirty-thousand years.prometheus faced his bitter fate firmly and never
lost courage before zeus.at last heracles made prometheus and zeus restore
to friend ship,when heracles came over in search of the golden apple
and killed the eagle and set the friend of mankind free.普罗米修斯普罗
米修斯是泰坦巨人之一.在宙斯与巨人的战争中,他站在新的奥林波斯山神一边.
他用粘土造出了第一个男人.雅典娜赋予了这个男人灵魂和神圣的生命.普
罗米修斯还花费了很多时间和精力创造了火,并将之赠予人类.火使人成为万物
之灵.
在这之后,举行了第一次神与人的联席会议.这个会议将决定烧烤过的动物
的哪一部分该分给神,哪一部分该给人类.普罗米修斯切开一头牛,把它分成两
部分：他把肉放在皮下,将骨头放在肥肉下.因为他知道自私的宙斯爱吃肥肉.
宙斯看穿了他的把戏.普罗米修斯偏袒人类,这使宙斯感到不快.因此,他专横
地把火从人类手中夺走.然而,普罗米修斯设法窃走了天火,偷偷地把它带给人
类.
宙斯对他这种肆无忌惮的违抗行为大发雷霆.他令其他的山神把普罗米修斯
用锁链缚在高加索山脉的一块岩石上.一只饥饿的老鹰天天来啄食他的肝脏,而
他的肝脏又总是重新长出来.他的痛苦要持续三万年.而他坚定地面对苦难,从
来不在宙斯面前丧失勇气.最后,海格立斯使普罗米修斯与宙斯恢复了他们的友
谊,找到了金苹果,杀死了老鹰,因而解救了人类的老朋友.
【四.纳鲁斯和普鲁吐斯】
Nereus and Proteus of all the small sea divinities nereus and proteus
stood out as peculiar sea-gods.nereus ,known as“the old man of the sea”,
represented the pleasant aspect of ocean waters.he lived beneath the sea
with his fifty lovely daughters ,of whom the most famous were amphritrite,
thetis,galate a and panope.it was nereus who advised heracles to seek
prometheus in the hero's search of the golden apples. proteus was poseidon's
herdsman. he was well known for two qualities ：the gift of prophecy and
the power to take various forms.at one time he was a lion with a curly
wavy hairs；at another he appeared in the shape of a wild boar；and still
another he stood a stately tree covered with rich leaves.when ,after
all these and many other changes,he failed to get rid of his questioner,
the god offered detailed answers. 纳鲁斯和普鲁吐斯在所有的小海神中,纳
鲁斯和普鲁吐斯异常独特.纳鲁斯是人们熟知的“海中的老人”.他代表了海水
友善的一面.他和50个可爱的女儿一起生活在海中.她们当中最著名的有；安菲
瑞垂托、塞提丝、盖拉蒂和潘诺珀.在勇敢地寻觅金苹果的时候,纳鲁斯建议赫
格立斯寻找普罗米修斯.普鲁吐斯是波塞冬的牧羊人.他有两种非凡的能力：他
能预言,他还能够变成不同的动物.有时他是一头狮子,有着波浪般的卷发.有
时他是一头凶猛的野猪.而有时他又是一棵枝叶繁茂、外表威严的大树.经过这
些变化之后,当他无法摆脱询问者时,神就替他作出详尽的回答.
【五.厄洛斯（丘比特）】
Eros（Cupid ） eros was the god of love ,better known by hislatin
