希臘神話與英語閱讀
❶ 希臘神話中的典故中英文
1、Pandora』s box(潘朵拉的盒子) ：普羅米修斯(Prometheus)為人類盜來了天火，激怒了宙斯(Zeus)。Zeus決定懲罰人類，於是他命令火神造出一個美貌的女人 Pandora，讓她去勾引Prometheus的弟弟埃比米修斯(Epimetheus)。結果Epimetheus上當，接近了 Pandora，Pandora於是就將手中的盒子打開，放出了裡面的罪惡、災難、疾病、不幸，只留下了「希望」在盒子里。於是Pandora』s box就成了「災難的根源」的代名詞。
2、the sword of Damocles(達摩克利斯之劍)：Damocles是敘拉古王朝的一位大臣，非常羨慕帝王的榮華富貴。一天，國王讓他坐在王位上，在 Damocles的頭上用一根頭發懸一把利劍，告訴他王權的危險就象那把劍一樣，隨時可能降臨。因此the sword of Damocles就成了「富貴中隱藏的危險」的同義語，也可以指形勢危急，千鈞一發。
3、Damon and Pythias ：Damon和Pythias是好朋友。Pythias出事被判了死刑，為了使他能夠回家探視親人，Damo留在牢中作人質，如果Pythias不按時返 回，就處死Damon。當期限滿，臨處刑之際，Pythias及時趕回。國王深受感動，將二人全部釋放，因此，Damon and Pythias意思就是「生死之交」。
4、Penelop』s web：源自史詩《奧德賽》(Odyssey)。泊涅羅珀(Penelop)是奧底修斯(Odysseus)的妻子，以忠貞而著稱。特洛伊戰爭持續 了十年，Odysseus在返家的途中又耽擱了十年。在這漫長的二十年中，許多王公貴族向Penelop求婚，她都托辭說必須等織完布後才能予以考慮，一 到晚上，她又將白天織好的布再拆開。因此Penelop』s web就成了一項永遠也完不成的工作。
5、apple of discord：意思是「不和的根源、發生糾紛的事端」。佩琉斯和忒提斯舉行婚禮時忘記了邀請不和女神厄里斯(Eris)。這位女神大為惱火，留下 一個刻有「獻給最美者」的金蘋果，引起了雅典娜、赫拉和阿芙羅狄忒的紛爭。此事導致漫長的特洛伊戰爭(Trojan War)。

希臘神話文獻記載
最早的幾部參考文獻當推荷馬的兩部史詩：《伊利亞特》和《奧德賽》。除此之外的這方面的史詩都被歸結到了《史詩集成》，但這些作品到現今基本已經全部不可靠了。盡管這部合集原來的名字稱為「荷馬贊歌」，但其實際上和荷馬沒有任何關系，它們實際上是從被稱為抒情詩時期早期流傳下來的贊美詩。
荷馬基本同期的詩人赫西俄德在其作品《神譜》中全面的記錄了關於世界的形成，眾神，提坦和巨人的起源的早期希臘神話以及詳細的族譜。
赫西俄德的《工作與時日》系統地記錄了當時農耕生產的知識，表現了平靜而優美的農村生活場景。其中包括了對普羅米修斯，潘多拉以及五個時代的描寫。這些詩篇給予了在那個危險的時期最好生活方式的建議和全貌。

❷ 希臘神話故事英文讀後感
《希臘神話》這本書我在很小的時候就曾經閱讀過，以前可能不大能理解。現在重新來看這本書感覺就大不相同了。
在我知道的中國神話故事中，中國的神仙是不可以有感情的，特別是嚴禁和凡人發生感情，那是犯天條的。所謂的犯天條就是觸犯了天庭的法律。中國的牛郎織女，董勇和七仙女等愛情故事，都很美麗很動人，但是結局都是凄慘的。
希臘神話的眾神卻不同。他們有著人一樣的情感，相比之下更接近人類。上至至高無上的宙斯，下至沒有權力與世無爭的小神，他們都被允許有人的情感，可以和其他的神甚至是凡人發生感情。據說，希臘許多著名的大英雄就是神的後裔，有著神的血統。
希臘神話中的眾神們不但有人一樣的情感，還會參與人類世界的紛爭。著名的特洛伊戰爭，在荷馬詩史中的描述就是神與神，神與人之間的戰斗。神也一樣會受傷，會流血，會傷心流淚。像人一樣的真實，唯一和人類有區別的是，他們可以永保青春，有不死之身，這一點還是和中國神話的神仙們一樣的。
唯一有一樣我不大能理解的就是他們復雜的感情生活和婚姻關系。我明白中外的歷史文化背景不同，但是，亂倫的事情還是全世界都一樣吧。再開放的國家也不會允許父娶女，母嫁兒吧？聽起來似乎有些荒謬。姐弟兄妹之間的通婚還是有先例的，古埃及的皇族不是為了血統純正的問題實行過嗎。
總之，希臘神話故事的背後還隱藏著許多的智慧和玄機，要我們去慢慢品味，慢慢來消化。
"Greek mythology," the book I had very little time to read that in the past may not be able to understand. Now re-look at this book, I feel different.
I know that in the Chinese fairy tale, the gods of China can not have feelings, in particular, is strictly prohibited and the feelings of the ordinary happened, it was guilty of days of the article. The so-called Article days is guilty of violating the laws of heaven. China's Cowboy Girl, Dong Yong and seven fairy tale of love, and so on, are very beautiful and very touching, but the outcome is miserable.
Greek mythology, the gods are different. They have the same emotional person, compared with closer to human beings. To the supremacy of Zeus, do not have the power to under small god Like they have been allowed to someone's feelings, and other gods can even feelings of the ordinary happened. It is said that many well-known Greek hero is the descendant of God, God has a descent.
Greek mythology the gods were not only some of the same feelings, but also to participate in the world of human strife. The famous Trojan War in Homer's description of the history of God and God is God and the people fighting between. God will be the same injury, will be bloodshed, will be sad tears. The real human beings, and human beings are the only difference is that they can be forever young, dead body, or that China and the myth of the god are the same.
I do not like the only thing is that they can understand the complicated love life and marriage. I understand that the Chinese and foreign historical and cultural backgrounds are different, however, incest or the things you like the whole world. Re-opening of the country will not be allowed to marry the father of women, married mother of children, right? Some may sound ridiculous. Siblings or marriage between brother and sister of a precedent, ancient Egypt's royal family is not a pure question of origin in order to practice it.
In short, the story of Greek mythology behind the many hidden truths and wisdom, it is necessary for us to taste slowly, slowly digested.

Creation of Man by Prometheus
Prometheus and Epimetheus, two Titans, were spared imprisonment in Tartarus after the Titanomachy, the War between the Titans and the Olympians, because they had not fought alongside the other Titans. Instead, they were given the task of creating man. Prometheus shaped man out of mud, and Athena breathed life into his clay figure.
Prometheus assigned Epimetheus with the task of giving the creatures of the earth their various qualities, such as swiftness, cunning, strength, fur, wings. Unfortunately, by the time he got to man, Epimetheus had given all the good qualities out and there were none left for man. So Prometheus decided to make man stand upright just like the gods did and to give them fire.
Prometheus loved man more than the Olympians, who had banished most of his family to Tartarus. So when Zeus decreed that man must sacrifice a portion of each food to the gods, Prometheus decided to trick Zeus. He created two piles, one with bones wrapped in juicy fat, and another with the finest meat hidden inside a hide. He then asked Zeus to choose one of the piles; Zeus, unaware, chose the bones and since he had given his word, was forced to accept the bones as his share for future sacrifices. In his anger over the trick, he took fire away from man. However, Prometheus lit a torch from the sun and brought it back again to man. Zeus was enraged that man again had fire. He decided to inflict a terrible punishment on both man and Prometheus.
To punish man, Zeus had Hephaestus create a mortal of stunning beauty. The gods gave the mortal many gifts of wealth. He then had Hermes give the mortal a deceptive heart and a lying tongue. This creation was Pandora, the first woman. A final gift was a jar which Pandora was forbidden to open. Thus, Zeus sent Pandora to Epimetheus, who had decided to live amongst men.
