【阿瑞斯】

　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(zhàn)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、最喜歡爭斗和戰(zhàn)爭的神，并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(zhàn)場的戰(zhàn)士們瘋狂地崇拜。這些崇拜者戰(zhàn)前都要向他祈禱，戰(zhàn)后將戰(zhàn)利品供奉在他的祭壇前。他是惟一一位曾經(jīng)不得不屈于部下威力的神。有一次，由于缺乏機智與正確判斷使他蒙受羞辱。他和兩個巨人決斗，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己不能抵擋。他自動放下武器，被銬上鐵鏈關(guān)了起來，最后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*一樣典型。波塞冬的一個兒子企圖誘拐他的女兒，弄得戰(zhàn)神非常不悅。于是，他毫不留情地把他干掉了。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(zhàn)神。審判是在城外的一座小山上開庭的，阿瑞斯敘述了案情，最后被判無罪。從那以后，這座山就稱作雅典的法院，即“阿瑞斯之山”；而出審的法官們被稱作雅典法院的法官。

　　

【愛神丘比特】

　Eros（Cupid ） eros was the god of love ，better known by hislatin name cupid.son of aphrodite by ares ，he took his place among the small gods of olympus.he was represented asa little naked boy ，with sparkling wings ，and he carried his bowand arrows wherever he wandered.shooting his thrilling arrows in evils ，he inspired the passion of love and provided all nature with life and power of reproduction.the lovely ，naughty god had two kinds of arrows ：the gold tipped arrows used to quicken the pulse of love and the lead tipped ones to palsy it. besides ，he had a torch to light hearts with. though sometimes he was blindfolded ，no man nor god ，zeus himself included ，was safe from his evils.at one time the little naughty god was wounded by his own arrows and such burning love was awakened in him for the human maiden psyche that he disregarded the constant interference of his mother and plucked up his courage to beg zeus for justice. another famous story where eros played an important part was the argonautic expedition.medea ，daughter of king aeetes ，was wounded by eros'' arrows，took jason''s part in recovering the golden fleece and eventually became the hero''s wife.

　厄洛斯（丘比特）厄洛斯是愛神，它的拉丁名稱丘比特更為人熟知。他是阿瑞斯和阿芙羅狄蒂的兒子，是一位小奧林波斯山神。他的形象是一個*的小男孩，有一對閃閃發(fā)光的翅膀。他帶著弓箭漫游。他惡作劇地射出令人震顫的神箭，喚起愛的激情。給自然界帶來生機，授予萬物繁衍的能力。這位可愛而又淘氣的小精靈有兩種神箭：加快愛情產(chǎn)生的金頭神箭和中止愛情的鉛頭神箭。另外，他還有一束照亮心靈的火炬。盡管有時他被蒙著眼睛，但沒有任何人或神，包括宙斯在內(nèi)，能逃避他的惡作劇。有一次這位淘氣的精靈被自己的箭射中。對人間少女普賽克熾熱的愛在他心中復蘇，以致于他不顧他母親的干預，鼓起勇氣讓宙斯給予公正評判。厄洛斯起了重大作用的另一個的故事是亞爾古英雄的遠征。美狄亞，國王埃厄忒斯的女兒，被厄洛斯的神箭射中，和伊阿宋一起尋覓金羊毛，最后成為這位英雄的妻子。

　　

【普羅米修斯】

　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.

　普羅米修斯是泰坦巨人之一。在宙斯與巨人的戰(zhàn)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圣的生命。普羅米修斯還花費了很多時間和精力創(chuàng)造了火，并將之贈予人類?；鹗谷顺蔀槿f物之靈。 在這之后，舉行了第一次神與人的聯(lián)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(shè)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(fā)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巖石上。一只饑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(xù)三萬年。而他堅定地面對苦難，從來不在宙斯面前喪失勇氣。最后，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。
