Ancient Greek Mythology

What happened was a coincidence. Alcmene was afraid of Hera and reluctantly abandoned her child. Unexpectedly, it was the jealous Hera who unknowingly used her own milk to revive the son of her love rival. Not only that, Hera is the queen of heaven, and her milk has extraordinary power. Hercules was the son of Zeus, and now he drank Hera's milk, and since then he has been separated from the mortal world and has the power of a god. Queen Hera soon realized the true origin of the child who sucked her breast, and also learned that he had now returned to his biological mother Alcmene. She regretted and regretted that instead of taking the opportunity to get rid of him, she had given him extraordinary power.

Ancient Greece is the capital of philosophy and the source of mythology. The book introduces the statues of ancient Greek gods, such as Artemis, the goddess of hunting, who fights to fight beasts and protect humans, and Apollo, the sun god. They are said to be the most powerful gods in the Trojan War, and their archery skills are very good. Helena was the heroine of the Trojan War, and Agamemnon was her lover, but they were invited by Hercules to fight. In the end, Agamemnon lost his hand and was beheaded by Hercules. Every story reads very vividly.

Ancient Greek mythology seems to be very similar to what is told in the Bible. For example, the Bible says: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth was empty and chaotic, annihilating darkness." "In the beginning there was the Tao, and the Tao was with God." "It is very similar to the content in ancient Greek mythology. For example, it is also said above that in the beginning, The world is in a very chaotic state, and Chinese civilization is like Nuwo and Fuxi. One is killing the concrete network, and the other is creating the world, splitting the sky into cold salad, which is very similar to the ancient Greek god Euryu who created the world with ink.

After reading the entire article, you can clearly feel the difference with Chinese gods. Ancient Greek gods are similar to people. They have seven emotions and six desires. They will be jealous because of an apple. Chamber pots were beheaded and turned into monsters because of their beauty. There are also many unrestrained monsters that are all kinds of ugly monsters left by gods who did not control their own desires. Many of these monsters bring disasters to mankind. They don't feel like gods to readers, but rather human beings. It is quite interesting to read more of them. It is a very interesting mythological system.

Ancient Greece is the earliest origin of ancient civilization, and the myths that have been circulated here for nearly 3,000 years are a wonder in the history of world literature and art. They also reproduce the social style and spiritual outlook of the ancient Greeks in epic strokes; Whether it is the battle between the gods unified by Sri Lanka or the origin theory and ancestor worship of the human world, we can trace their origins from these myths. Read about the battles between gods and the turmoil between them under the changes of heaven and earth, allowing us to have a glance at the creation achievements and primitive wars.

It's pretty good, but maybe it's not suitable for me to read. I devoured half of it, couldn't stand it, and couldn't remember the characters. Maybe Chinese people are more likely to watch Chinese mythological stories.

Explore the roots of Western civilization. I read Wen Pinyuan's "General History of the West" before, which said that ancient Greece was to Western civilization what the Shang and Zhou dynasties were to Chinese civilization. So I came here specifically to look at ancient Greek mythology. One of the most well-known stories must be the Trojan War. The Trojan prince awarded the golden apple to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Hera and Athena. Later, the prince abducted Helen, the wife of the King of Sparta, triggering the Greek city-states' war against Troy. The war between the Greek coalition forces and the city of Troy lasted for ten years, during which many heroes participated in the battle and the fighting was fierce. In the end, the Greek coalition adopted the Trojan horse strategy: they built a huge wooden horse with Greek soldiers inside, and then pretended to retreat, leaving the wooden horse behind. The Trojans dragged the wooden horse into the city as a victory prize. The Greek soldiers hiding in the wooden horse quietly came out at night to open the city gate, cooperated with the allied forces outside the city, and finally captured the city of Troy. Another classic story is Prometheus stealing fire. As we all know, it was Prometheus who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans. However, few people ask: Why don't the gods give humans fire? Why was Prometheus willing to steal fire? What happened to Prometheus after he stole the fire? ... Prometheus is a god in ancient Greek mythology who is very smart, wise, and prescient. He often thinks about mankind and is the protector and teacher of mankind. He has taught mankind many knowledge and skills, such as building houses, making tools, and sailing. When the gods distributed sacrifices, Prometheus fought for the rights of mankind. He divided the sacrificial cow into two parts. One part was beef and offal, covered with cowhide, and the other part was cow bones, wrapped in butter, and let Zeus choose. Zeus took a fancy to the portion wrapped in butter, but found that it was full of bones. Therefore, he was dissatisfied with Prometheus and humans. As punishment, Zeus refused to give humans fire. Prometheus saw that human beings lived in darkness, cold and hardship, without fire for heating, lighting and cooking food. Diseases were rampant and survival was difficult. He was deeply sympathetic to the miserable plight of mankind and could not bear that mankind continued to live in such harsh conditions, so he decided to take the risk of stealing fire for mankind in order to improve mankind's life. This behavior angered Zeus, who tied Prometheus to the Caucasus Mountains and let eagles eat his liver every day. Later, the Greek hero Heracles passed by the Caucasus Mountains and saw him chained on the cliff. He shot the evil eagle with his bow and arrow, broke the chain, and rescued Prometheus. After reading this book, I can't help but sigh: Due to the baptism of foreign content such as American TV series, movies, games, novels, etc., I am already very familiar with some of the stories.

I like this kind of ancient books (no)
