　　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.

　　阿波羅

　　在眾多的奧林波斯山神中,主神宙斯和雷託之子阿波羅最受推崇。據希臘神話記載,雷託被天后赫拉驅趕得四處流浪。最終是海神波塞冬憐憫她並從海中撈起提落島讓她居住。在島上,她生了孿生兒子阿波羅和阿爾特彌斯。

　　阿波羅是太陽神。清晨他身著紫色袍,坐在那明亮的東方宮殿,準備開始每日穿越天空的旅行。白天,他駕著用金子和象牙製成的戰車,給廣闊無垠的大地帶來光明、生命和仁愛。黃昏時分,他在遙遠的西海結束了旅行,然後就乘上金船返回東方的家中。

　　阿波羅是音樂神和詩神。他可喚起人們傾注於聖歌中的各種情感。在奧林波斯山上,他手拿金質里拉,用悅耳的音調指揮繆斯的合唱。當他幫助波塞冬建造特洛伊城牆時,里拉奏出的音樂如此動聽,以致石頭有節奏地、自動地各就其位。有一次他接受凡人音樂家馬斯亞斯的挑戰參加一次競賽。戰勝對方後,他將對手剝皮致死以懲罰他的狂妄自大。在另外一次音樂比賽中,因輸給了潘神,他就將裁判邁爾斯國王的耳朵變成了驢耳朵。

　　阿波羅的兒子俄耳甫斯繼承了父親這方面的才能。他的豎琴使人與動物皆受感動。

　　阿波羅象徵著青春和男子漢的美。金色的頭髮、莊重的舉止、容光煥發的神態,這些足以使他受到世人的青睞。一位名叫克里提的美麗少女迷戀於他的英俊瀟灑,跪在地上,從黎明到黃昏,雙手伸向太陽神。她凝視著那輛金質馬車在蔚藍的天空馳騁。雖然她的愛並未得到回報,但她對阿波羅的痴情卻從未改變。目睹這悲哀的場面,眾神深受感動,將她變成了一株向日葵。

　　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 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.

　　普羅米修斯

　　普羅米修斯是泰坦巨人之一。在宙斯與巨人的戰爭中,他站在新的奧林波斯山神一邊。他用粘土造出了第一個男人。雅典娜賦予了這個男人靈魂和神聖的生命。普羅米修斯還花費了很多時間和精力創造了火,並將之贈予人類。火使人成為萬物之靈。在這之後,舉行了第一次神與人的聯席會議。這個會議將決定燒烤過的動物的哪一部分該分給神,哪一部分該給人類。普羅米修斯切開一頭牛,把它分成兩部分:他把肉放在皮下,將骨頭放在肥肉下。因為他知道自私的宙斯愛吃肥肉。宙斯看穿了他的把戲。普羅米修斯偏袒人類,這使宙斯感到不快。因此,他專橫地把火從人類手中奪走。然而,普羅米修斯設法竊走了天火,偷偷地把它帶給人類。宙斯對他這種肆無忌憚的違抗行為大發雷霆。他令其他的山神把普羅米修斯用鎖鏈縛在高加索山脈的一塊岩石上。一隻飢餓的老鷹天天來啄食他的肝臟,而他的肝臟又總是重新長出來。他的痛苦要持續三萬年。而他堅定地面對苦難,從來不在宙斯面前喪失勇氣。最後,海格立斯使普羅米修斯與宙斯恢復了他們的友誼,找到了金蘋果,殺死了老鷹,因而解救了人類的老朋友。

　　Ares

　　Son of Zeus and Hera,Ares was appointed god of war.Hewas terrible and majestic ,and his march shook the world.Of all the major gods at Olympus,he was the most hateful,loving struggle and war and ever thirsty for blood .On the other hand he signified courage and victory in battle,and was devoutly worshipped by soldiers going to war.Prayers were addressed to him before the war and spoils presented at his altar after it.

　　He was the one god who ever had to submit to the power ofhis inferiors .At one time lack of tact and good udge ment led to his shame.He was fighting with two giants,and finding himself no match for the two monstrous creatures,laid down hisarms and was imprisoned in chains. He was set free in the end by the artful Hermes,but not before he had suffered all the humiliations .

　　He was as thoughtless as he was unkind .A son of Poseidon's,attempting to kidnap his daughter,made the war-god unhappy,so that he killed the youth Without he sitation.In retaliation ,Poseidon dragged him before a group of Athenian judges for trial.The court was held on a hill outside Athens.Ares presented his case and was declared innocent . The hill was ever after called Areopagus,“the hill of Ares”,and the judges receivedthe names of Areopagitae.

　　阿瑞斯

　　阿瑞斯,宙斯和赫拉之子,被委任為戰神。他威嚴而可怕。他一走動,整個世界都會搖晃。在奧林波斯山上的所有主神中,他是最可恨的、最喜歡爭鬥和戰爭的神,並且永遠對血腥有一種渴望。另一方面,他代表勇氣和勝利,被即將上戰場的戰士們瘋狂地崇拜。這些崇拜者戰前都要向他祈禱,戰後將戰利品供奉在他的祭壇前。來源:考試大

　　他是惟一一位曾經不得不屈於部下威力的神。有一次,由於缺乏機智與正確判斷使他蒙受羞辱。他和兩個巨人決鬥,發現自己不能抵擋。他自動放下武器,被銬上鐵鏈關了起來,最後他被老練的赫爾墨斯救出來,但在此之前,他已飽嘗了受侮辱的滋味。

　　他做事不加思考,就像他的殘暴一樣典型。波塞冬的一個兒子企圖誘拐他的女兒,弄得戰神非常不悅。於是,他毫不留情地把他幹掉了。為了替兒子報仇,波塞冬拉著阿瑞斯到雅典法官面前要求審判戰神。審判是在城外的一座小山上開庭的,阿瑞斯敘述了案情,最後被判無罪。從那以後,這座山就稱作雅典的最高法院,即“阿瑞斯之山”;而出審的法官們被稱作雅典最高法院的法官。
