Narcissus，源于希腊神话。相传，narcissus是河神刻斐索斯与水泽女神利里俄珀之子。他是一位长相十分清秀的美少年，却对任何姑娘都不动心，只对自己的水中倒影爱慕不已，最终在顾影自怜中抑郁死去。化作水仙花，仍留在水边守望着自己的影子。后来，Narcissus就成了“孤芳自赏者”、“自我陶醉者”的代名词。版本一narcissus，纳西索斯，希腊神话中爱上自己影子的美貌少年。传说艾歌爱上了美少年纳西索斯，但是艾歌只能重复别人的话。也就是说，只有少年对艾歌说出“我爱你”，艾歌才能向少年表达出爱意。可是，那喀索斯根本一点也不喜欢艾歌，于是艾歌带着憎恨，给那喀索斯下了“永远对着倒映自己的泉水说着‘我爱你’”的诅咒。最后，艾歌因为诅咒带来的邪恶，带着遗憾消失了。而那喀索斯无意搅动水面发现，他爱恋上了自己，却永远不可能实现，于是因而抑郁而死，死后人们在他站过的水旁发现了水仙花，所以narcissus也被人们成为是水仙，水仙花,恋影花的意思，而其复数形式narcissi意为自我陶醉，自恋。narcissus的形象在造型艺术众多用来比喻受到惩罚的虚荣、过度的自恋、表象致命的吸引力和为了纯粹的认识自我而放弃肉体之爱。版本二关于女神Echo希腊神话中 ，Echo,是一个美丽，善良，聪明绝顶的女神。众神心中的情人，而这位可爱的女神，却只钟情于Narcissus,英俊潇洒，风度翩翩，以至于必须用漂亮才能形容他那张脸。众女神心中的王子。 而Narcissus从来不理会任何女神的追求，包括可爱的Echo。因为他每天只做一件事，就是坐在水边，看着自己的倒影。知道么？Narcissus是个自恋狂，世界上他不会爱任何人，无论Echo或者其他女神怎样爱他。Narcissus爱的人只有他自己，只是他自己。 可是Echo的美貌还是被宙斯这个淫魔发现，并疯狂追求，无论可怜的Echo怎样拒绝。而宙斯的发妻赫拉，是个对丈夫无能为力却心胸狭窄，阴险毒辣的女人。对Echo，她是憎恨妒忌的；对宙斯，她是爱恨交加却恐惧的。终于她对Echo施了一种残忍的法术。Echo,从此再也不能主动的说话了，她只能重复别人所说的话，再也无法表达自己了。即使是这样，宙斯还是没有放弃对Echo的追求。绝望的她，最后跑到了黑暗的山洞里面躲了起来。可恶的宙斯，因为畏惧黑暗，所以不敢进去，只在洞口，一边一边的呼喊：“Echo,我爱你……”而山洞里面也一边一边的传出：“Echo，我爱你……”Echo再也再也没出来过。回音的意思由此得名。如今情侣们对着山洞呼喊爱人的名字，说出心事，许下诺言。也许可爱的Echo一直在帮助有情人，希望他们终成眷属。Echo消失后，众神商议觉得此事与Narcissus有摆脱不了的干系。所以他们也施了法术，将Narcissus变成一束水仙，要他永远可以从水里看见自己的倒影。Narcissus这个词除了水仙的意思，本身也有自恋狂的意义。 他女神怎样爱他。Narcissus爱的人只有他自己，只是他自己。版本三希腊神话中,Echo是一个森林女神希腊神话中，宙斯的老婆赫拉嫉妒山林女神Echo的美貌，让她失去了正常的说话能力，只能重复别人的话的最后三个字。（这也就是Echo后来成为“回声”的由来）美丽的Echo爱上了河神Cephisus之子Narcissus，一个骄傲和美貌都达到极致的男子 。一天，Echo带着无法遏止的爱，紧紧地跟在Narcissus的身后，希望他能注意到自己，然后接受自己这颗爱他爱到痴迷、爱到发狂的心。Narcissus感觉到有人在跟着自己，便问：“谁在这里？”Echo欣喜万分，她多想告诉Narcissus她正为着对他的爱而被煎熬。可是她没有正常的说话能力，根本无法表达自己。 Narcissus没有等待别人的耐性，见Echo不回答，便欲抽身而去。 Echo不愿放弃这次机会，她想，只要让Narcissus多留一会儿，她就能多一分让他明白自己的希望。于是，她的回答冲口而出，只有三个字：“在这里。” “不要这样。”Narcissus说，“我宁死也不愿让你来占有我！”“占有我！”Narcissus听了瘪了瘪嘴，认定跟着自己的这个姑娘是个轻浮的人，便满脸不屑地走了。Echo羞愧难当，怀着悲痛的心情躲到了山林深处，最后憔悴而死。复仇女神纳米西斯为了惩罚Narcissus，让他爱上自己水中的影子，最后也使他得不到所爱的对象憔悴而死（一说是滑入水中而溺死） Narcissus死后，化成了水仙花，所以Narcissus在英语中也就是水仙花的意思。而由Narcissus也衍生出 Narcissism一词，意为“自恋”。

篇一

Between Macedon and Thessaly of eastern Greece there stood a high mountain.Its cloudy top rushed into the very heavens.On the top of the mountain， the home of the gods was bathed in brightness. At Olympus Zeus ruled as the father of gods and men. Zeus was not a crude ruler by any standards.All the gods listened to his final words，it was true.But Zeus made them all sit on a mittee of twelve members，including six gods and six goddesses. The first in the Olympian crowd sat Zeus himself. He was the overlord of gods and men and the operator of the thunderbolt .Next to him was Hera，his proud and greeneyed queen.Poseidon was ruler of the sea，And Hades，king of the lower world，had no seat in the mittee.Apollo was the god of the sun，music and poetry，while his twinsister Artemis was the goddess of the moon and the chase. Athena was the goddess of wisdom and patroness of house holdarts.Hestin，the goddess of the family，represented home life and family happiness.The frightening Ares was the god of war，and the charming Aphrodite the goddess of love and beauty.The god of fire，Hephaestus，was the forger of the thunderbolts of Zeus.The wing footed messenger Hermes was the god of invention and merce;and the goddess of grains and harvests，Demeter，looked after agriculture and stood for mother ofcivilization.

All the chief gods mentioned above took human forms of inparable beauty and grace. Often moved by human feelings and desires，they frequently gave way to anger and jealousy.They became involved in ceaseless battles with the world of man. Among themselves at Olympus they plotted and struggled for power.In the human world they experienced petitions and difficulties.They enjoyed earthly friendships and loves.Acrowd of everlasting gods looked and acted in a perfectly human fashion that is what all gods at Olympus actually were.

篇二

After the stealing of fire，Zeus became increasingly unkind to men.One day he ordered his son Hephaestus tobuild an image of a beautiful maiden out of clay.He then asked the gods and goddesses to award her with different kinds of gifts.Among others，Athena clothed her in an attractive coat and Hermes gave her the power of telling lies.A charming young lady，she was the first woman that ever lived.Zeus called her Pandora.Because she had received from each of the gods and goddesses a gift.The gift was harmful to men.

Zeus decided to send her down to men as a present.So Hermes them essenger brought her to Epimetheus，brother of Prometheus.The greatness of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her，and Epimetheus happily received her into his house.He had quite forgotten Pometheus' warning：never to accept anything from Zeus.The couple lived a happy life for some time.Then trouble came on to the human world.

When he was busy with teaching men the art of living，Prometheus had left a bigcask in the care of Epimetheus.He had warned his brother not to open the lid.Pandora was a curious woman.She had been feeling very disappointed that her hu *** and did not allow her to take a look at the contents of the cask.One day，when Epimetheus was out，she lifted the lid and out itcame unrest and war，Plague and sickness，theft and violence， grief sorrow，and all the other evils.The human world was hence to experience these evils.Only hope stayed within the mouth of the jar and never flew out.So men always have hope within their hearts.

篇三

Of all the *** all sea divinities Nereus and Proteus stood out as Peculiar sea-gods.Nereus，known as“the Old Man of the sea”，represented the pleasant aspect of ocean waters.He lived beneath the sea with his fifty lovely daughters，of whom the most famous were Amphritrite，Thetis，Galate a and Panope.It was Nereus who advised Heracles to seek Prometheus in the hero's search of the golden apples.

Proteus was Poseidon's herd *** an. He was well known for two qualities：the gift of prophecy and the power to take various forms.At one time he was a lion with a curly wavy hairs;at another he appeared in the shape of a wild boar;and still another he stood a stately tree covered with rich leaves.When，after all these and many other changes，he failed to get rid of his questioner， the god offered detailed answers.
