Greek story:
Apollo: ābūLuó
One of the most famous gods in ancient Greek mythology, one of the twelve main gods in Greek mythology, is the son of Zeus and Leto, the goddess of the night, and the twin brother of Artemis. His full name is Phobos Apollo, which means "bright" or "brilliant".
Apollo is regarded as the god in charge of literature and art, in charge of light, youth, medicine, animal husbandry, music and so on. It is the patron saint of mankind, god of light, the god of prophecy, the patron saint of immigrants and navigators, the god of medicine and the god of disaster relief. Apollo was born on the floating island of Telo in Astria. Together with her twin sister Al Simis, she killed Pitong, the python who persecuted her mother, and Neobi and her children who humiliated her mother. One is the patron saint of Greek culture. There are many myths about him. The sculpture art in ancient Greece often used his image to express the beauty of men. Apollo is usually accepted as the sun god by some people, but he is not the real sun god. He is also called Phobos (meaning light). "Apollo is god of light, he can't find the darkness. He never lies and is aboveboard, so he is also called the God of Truth. Apollo is good at playing the lyre, and the beautiful melody is like nature; Apollo was also proficient in archery. His arrows hit every shot. Apollo was also a god of medicine, passing on medical skills to others; And because he is smart and knowledgeable, he is also the god of fables. Apollo was in charge of music, medicine, art and fable. He is the most versatile, beautiful and handsome god in Greek mythology. Apollo is also a typical male beauty.
Among the many gods on Mount Olympus, Zeus, the main god, and Apollo, the son of Leto, are the most respected. The story of Apollo's birth is recorded in many ancient Greek mythological materials, such as stacks, songs of dross, homer's ode and so on.
About the birth of their brother and sister, the most popular legend is that after Leto got pregnant, Hera, the jealous queen, couldn't tolerate other goddesses giving birth to Zeus's eldest son, so she ordered that the land be forbidden to give birth to her baby. Leto ran around in pain, and finally her sister Adelos became an "island of ignorance", stepped forward and accepted her. Poseidon erected four diamond pillars on the seabed and fixed the floating island. Leto was here, and her husband gave birth to themis, the goddess of midwifery and hunting, and later gave birth to god of light Apollo with the help of themis.
In people's minds, Apollo is a young man full of energy and blood. He is handsome and fragrant. His long hair hangs over his shoulders. Face frame, broad forehead, showing shrewdness, firmness, serenity, dignity and pride. Usually wearing a crown woven from the branches and leaves of laurel, Shenmu, olive or water lily. This god of light sometimes wears luxurious clothes, holds her head high in the blue sky and sings with the accompaniment of the guzheng hanging on her chest. The symbols of Apollo are harp, bow, arrow, quiver and tripod. People usually sacrifice him with swans, eagles, wolves, deer and cicadas.
It is generally believed that the myth about Apollo originated in Asia Minor, because he sided with Troy in the Trojan War, and there were many other temples there. Others believe that it originated in northern Greece, and the Hupperpoli claimed to be descendants of Apollo. There are many myths related to Apollo, including: he killed Long Pitong and built a temple where Delphi defeated Pitong; Take part in the battle between the gods of Olympus and the genie; In the Trojan War, his priests were insulted by the Greeks, and he attacked them by torturing them. Hermes invented the lyre and gave it to Apollo, making him the god of music. Cassandra, the princess of Troy, fell in love with him and was endowed with the gift of prophecy, but the princess later broke her promise and Apollo failed her prophecy. In order to get rid of his pursuit, the goddess Daphne became a laurel tree, known as the holy tree of Apollo; He also teamed up with Poseidon to help Troy, build unbreakable walls and so on.
About Apollo's theory of sun god, it is because some ancient Greeks seriously confused God. Since the 5th century BC, Helius, the sun god, has been seriously confused with Apollo, the god of art, so Apollo is regarded as Helius, the sun god. However, due to Helius's incomplete integration with Apollo, some non-Greek writers later wrote the following words: "After the Battle of Titan, Zeus raised the gods, and god of light Apollo demanded the position of the sun. Zeus forgot Helius who was on duty and agreed to Apollo's request. In addition, there is a saying that Zeus handed over the position of the sun god to Apollo because Helius's son, Phaeton, drove a solar car and caused a disaster. " Of course, these "myths" are called by later writers, not written by ancient Greeks, and cannot be regarded as Greek myths. So later, people often confuse Apollo with the sun god and mistakenly think that Apollo is the sun god:-in terms of its medical and destructive functions. Apollo is generally recognized as the sun god, and Apollo's nickname "Phobos" means "cleanliness", "light" and "prophecy". On the one hand, he protects agriculture, on the other hand, his sunshine is regarded as a golden arrow and has the function of a god of war. The common image of Apollo is mostly a young man without long hair, holding a harp, bow, aegis and so on.
Apollo was also the god of music and poetry. In charge of the muse. He can arouse all kinds of emotions that people pour into hymns. On Mount Olympus, he held a gold lira in his hand and conducted the Muse Choir in a sweet tone. When he helped Poseidon build the walls of Troy, Rilla played wonderful music, and the stones automatically put in place rhythmically. Once, he accepted the challenge of the mortal musician Mas and took part in a competition. After defeating his opponent, he skinned him to death to punish his arrogance. In another music competition, because he lost to Panshen, he turned the ears of referee Miles into donkey ears. Apollo also had a good side. He once helped Hermes, the son of the goddess of wind and rain, live in the holy mountain of Olympus. For the sake of Hermes, Apollo personally advised Hera. Even in order to succeed, Hermes was transformed into Hera's son Ares, which moved Hera and finally agreed to let Hermes live in the holy mountain. Hermes cheated Apollo and stole Apollo's cattle. But he traded his lyre for Apollo, and Apollo finally forgave him and gave him the cow. However, Apollo looked down on eros, the god of love, and his proposal failed.
Poetry:
The purple mist is illuminated by sunlight, and the waterfall hangs in front of the mountain.
The spring mountain is warm and the pavilion is covered.
The lonely village is in the setting sun, and the old tree is in the west of Western jackdaw. Under the small Fei Ying, there are green mountains and green waters, white grass, red leaves and yellow flowers.
Autumn has been sad and lonely since ancient times. I say autumn is better than spring.
The sun is like fire, and the wild Tian He is half burnt.
The scenery in Qiu Lai is different, and Hengyang Goose is unknown. The four sides are connected with each other. Thousands of miles away, the long smoke closes.
The setting sun swims around the five lakes, and smoke and waves are everywhere. Who wants to ask the East?
There is always a traitor in power, like covering the sky, and Chang' an is depressed when he can't see it.
... night gives way to the ocean of the sun, and the old year melts in freshness.
The desert is lonely and straight, and the long river sets the yen (Don Wang Wei)
High mountains hide the white sun, and the sea drains the golden rivers, but you can broaden your horizons by walking up a flight of stairs for 300 miles (Don Wang Zhihuan)
Sunrise in the east and rain in the west, the road is sunny (Tang Yuxi)
Don't worry about the setting sun when you are far away, you can look at the river at the end of the year (Ming ancient Yanwu)
Qianshan Mangroves are full of mountains and clouds, and wine looks at the sun again (Tang Wei Zhuang)
A thousand miles away, the lonely city is closed (Song Fan Zhongyan)
People say that the sunset is the end of the world, and heaven remains our neighbourhood (Song Ligou)
When the sun rises, the river flowers will win the fire, and when the spring comes, the river will be blue (Tang Juyi)
Weeding is at noon, sweating profusely. Who knows that every grain on the plate is hard to finish?
The scorching sun scorched the wild rice in Tian He by half. On the day of Wan Li's fire umbrella, a touch of setting sun spread in the water, half Jiang Shasha, half Jiang Hong. The desert is lonely, and the long river sets the yen. To see the sun, for all his glory, buried by the coming night.
