Venus And Adonis



aphrodite loved adonis more than she did anybody else，for he was a brisk，lovely young hunter．she gave up herhome at olympus and took to the woods．in the woods she dressed herself up like a huntress and kept the youth company all day long．with him she wandered through grounds andgroves and over hills and valleys．she cheered hunting dogs andpursued animals of a harmless sort．they had a great time together．however，she warned him many times not to chase wild beasts like lions and wolves，but the young man just laughed at the idea．

one day，after warning him thus，she left for olympus inher carriage．quite by chance adonis'' hunting dogs found aboar，which roused adonis to enthusiasm．he hit the beast with an arrow，but the boar，turning on him，buried its white tusk deep into his tender side and trampled him to death．when aphrodite came back to find her lover cold in death，she burst into a passion of tears ．unable to take him back from the lower world，she sprinkled wine on adonls'' blood and turned it into anemone，a delicate purple flower．

aphrodite was not calmed down yet．in grief and despair she flew to zeus and begged zeus'' sympathy．hades was by no means prepared to meet her request．after much dispute anagreement was worked out under which adonis was to spend half the year above ground with aphrodite，but the remaining six months in the elysian fields．therefore，in spring time adonis came back to the loving embrace of aphrodite ，but when winter came he had to return most reluctantly to hades．



维纳斯和阿多尼斯



阿芙罗狄蒂爱阿多尼斯胜过爱别的任何人，因为他是一个精神抖擞、生气勃勃的少年猎手。她离开了奥林波斯山的住所来到林中。她装扮成一个女猎手，让这个年轻人整日陪伴左右，并与他一起游遍了山林、河谷。她跟着猎狗，欢呼雀跃，追赶着无害的动物。他们一起渡过了一段美好时光。虽然她奉劝了他许多次不要捕杀像狮子和狼这样的野兽，但年轻人只是嘲笑她的想法。

有一天，当她如此奉劝他之后，她坐上马车去奥林波斯山。非常凑巧，阿多尼斯的猎狗发现了一头野猪，使阿多尼斯热血沸腾，跃跃欲试。他一箭射中了这头野猪，但是野猪没死，掉过头向他冲击，长牙深深地扎进阿多尼斯的要害部位，将他抵死。当阿芙罗狄蒂回来之后，发现她的恋人尸骨已寒，她大哭起来。但无法将他从地府再拉回阳间，她便在阿多尼斯的血上洒上葡萄酒，将它变作秋牡丹，一种紫色的小花。

阿芙罗狄蒂的心并没有因此平静下来，在忧伤和绝望心情的笼罩下，她飞到宙斯处，乞求他的怜悯。哈得斯一点也不打算答应她的要求。经过一番口舌之争，他们达成协议：阿多尼斯每年可以到阳间和阿美罗狄蒂相聚半年，但剩下的六个月得到天堂渡过。由此每当春天的时候，阿多尼斯就转世回到阿芙罗狄蒂身边享受她爱的拥抱，但到了冬天他就得不情愿地回到哈得斯那儿。

希腊北部国王阿塔玛斯有两个孩子，法瑞克斯和赫勒。当国王离开第一个妻子和一个名叫伊诺的坏女人结婚后，两个孩子受到后母残忍虐待，整个王国也受到毁灭性瘟疫的侵袭。伊诺在爱轻信的丈夫耳边进谗言，终于使国王相信：他的儿子法瑞克斯是这次灾害的罪魁祸首，并要将他献给宙斯以结束瘟疫。可怜的孩子被推上了祭坛，将要被处死。正在此时，上帝派了一只浑身上下长着金色羊毛的公羊来将两个孩子驮在背上带走了。当他们飞过隔开欧洲和亚洲的海峡时，赫勒由于看到浩瀚的海洋而头晕目眩，最终掉进大海淹死了。这片海洋古时候的名称叫赫勒之海，赫勒拉旁海峡便由此而来。金色公羊驮着法瑞克斯继续向前飞去，来到了黑海东岸的科尔契斯。在那里，法瑞克斯将公羊献给了宙斯；而将金羊毛送给了埃厄忒斯国王。国王将羊毛钉在一棵圣树上，并派了一条不睡觉的龙负责看护。

The Sirens



far out in the sea there was an island，on the rocky edge of which lived three sirens，the three sisters of magic song．half human and half bird，the siren sisters sat in a field of flowers，singing in voices that excited the hearts of men．the attractive songs were so sweet that ships were attracted to the island and struck to pieces on the rocks．no sailor nor ship had ever been known to pass the island of the sirens without being attracted to disaster ．

acting on the advice of circe，odysseus took careful preparation against the sirens．before their ships came to where they could hear the song，odysseus had himself tied to the mast ，stopped the ears of his men with wax and ordered them to ignorehis orders and gestures when they were passing the fatal is land ．

soon they came in sight of the rocky is land，and the attractive song reached the ears of odysseus．it moved him so much that he struggled in despair to free himself and shouted for his men to turn towards the rich and flowery grass land of the singing sisters．but no one paid any attention to him．the sailorskept straight on until they were completely out of hearing．then his friends freed him and took the wax out of their ears．for once the sirens had sung with no effects．the eldest of the sisters，partherope，loved odysseus so much that she threw herself into the sea after his ships had passed．





海妖塞壬



遥远的海面上有一岛屿，石崖边居住着唱魔歌的海妖塞壬三姐妹。半人半岛的塞壬姐妹们坐在一片花丛里，唱着盎惑人心的歌，甜美的歌声把过往的船只引向该岛，然后撞上礁石船毁人亡。过往的海员和船只都受到迷惑走向毁灭，无一幸免。

奥德修斯遵循女神喀耳斯的忠告。为了对付塞壬姐妹，他采取了谨慎的防备措施。船只还没驶到能听到歌声的地方，奥德修斯就令人把他拴在桅杆上，并吩咐手下用蜡把他们的耳朵塞住。他还告诫他们通过死亡岛时不要理会他的命令和手势。

不久石岛就进入了他们的视线。奥德修斯听到了迷人的歌声。歌声如此令人神往，他绝望地挣扎着要解除束缚，并向随从叫喊着要他们驶向正在繁花茂盛的草地上唱歌的海妖姐妹，但没人理他。海员们驾驶船只一直向前，直到最后再也听不到歌声。这时他们才给奥德修斯松绑，取出他们耳朵中的蜡。这次塞壬海妖们算是白唱了歌。三姐妹中的老大帕耳塞洛珀深深地爱慕着奥德修斯。当他的船只走过后，她就投海自尽了。
