Thoughts after reading "Greek Mythology"

Finished reading the book "Greek Mythology" , I was deeply touched. Among them, the one who impressed me the most was Hercules. Because he was able to complete twelve very difficult tasks, and these twelve tasks took several years, I saw a person with tenacious perseverance. The first task is to kill the Nemean Lion, which has amazing abilities. Hercules gathered all his strength and shot an arrow at the giant lion, but the lion didn't react at all. He beat the lion with a stick and pinched it with his hands, and finally killed the lion. The second task was to fight the monster snake Hydra. He strangled the monster snake's neck, and the snake entangled him. After a while, a big crab also came to help, and the nephew of Heracles covered the surrounding woods. After lighting it, they cut off the snake's head and buried it on the roadside, pressing it with a boulder. The third task was to capture the doe. The fourth task was to capture a wild boar alive on Mount Erymanth; the fifth task was to capture a wild boar on Mount Erymanth alive. The cattle pen housing 30,000 cows had not been cleaned for many years, so he was asked to clean the cattle pen. Hercules used his wisdom and strength to complete the first five arduous tasks. The next task was more difficult, but Heracles used his wisdom to defeat the enemy. Greek mythology stories themselves are very charming and are open to almost everyone who can understand them. Secondly, the plots have profound implications. Many of these stories have become people’s favorites. Greek mythology stories have played an important role in human thought, culture and art. It has always been dazzling and enduring. The self-esteem, justice, and strength of human childhood are shown here in a magnificent picture that I will never forget. The wisdom and courage of Hercules are worth learning from.

Thoughts after reading <>

I have read a lot of books, but this book attracts me the most. From the Greek mythology, I can enter the unevolved and wild era; I can feel that everything is full of primitive life; I can also "touch" a kind of crazy power, which makes me Fascinated, I fell into it unconsciously, making me full of curiosity about the original, and at the same time, I also had full respect for the characters in the story. Hector is one of my favorite heroes. Hector is a descendant of Dardanos and a descendant of Iros. They founded the great Troy and Ilion, which allowed me to see the great creations of the ancients. When Laomedon built the "Great Wall" of Troy and deceived Poseidon and Apollo, the seeds of Troy's destruction had already been sown. Coupled with the golden apple "dedicated to the most beautiful woman" from the goddess of discord, this bane "thrives", and Paris' snatching of Helen is like laying a fuse for this bane, which may "explode" at any time. . In this disaster, I also got to know many heroes. None of these heroes are perfect. They have various shortcomings. On the one hand, Achilles is heroic, invincible, and loyal to his friends. On the other hand, Achilles Also stubborn, willful and cruel; Odysseus is cunning and cunning, they are all willful and savage people. The reason why I like Hector is because he is sensible and understands what he should do and what he should do at this time. He will not act arbitrarily and bring disaster to others. This is why I don't like Aqa. The reason for Lucius. Hector thought that Paris's behavior was wrong and incorrect from the beginning, but he never refuted it. He was the bravest, most upright and most moral prince among the king's many sons. When he thought of Paris His face turned red with anger and he shed tears of sadness, not only for his brothers and father, but also for the suffering people in the city. But even so, he agreed that the king should not give up Helen, because they had accepted her to protect her as the wife of Paris because of Helen's request, so now they should keep this agreement or oath. Hector is generous and honest. He is so kind and considerate to people who are not enemies. He never blamed Helen. When Helen was scolded by others for being "not human inside and out", he comforted her and said, "It's not your fault, it's God's fault." When the Greeks sent envoys to negotiate At that time, only Hector entertained them warmly and protected them from the Trojans. Hector was brave and fearless. When he was about to face Achilles, the bravest man in Greece, he did not flinch, but faced it bravely. He wanted to fight for himself, his wife and children, and his country. That may be what we call The "fearless" spirit. When his dead soul entered the sunless underworld of Hades, all the people of Ilion and Troy cried out in grief for their great hero.

Thank you, please accept.

『二』 Greek Mythology Reading Notes

Legend 1: In the distant ancient country of Greece, there is a beautiful and moving legend. The gentle and virtuous Princess Lida has a pair of very cute sons. They are not twins, but they look exactly the same. The relationship between the two brothers is particularly deep. Princess Lida feels very happy. But one day, Greece was attacked by a huge wild boar. The princes summoned many warriors to hunt the wild boar. In the meantime, the brave brother killed the wild boar, but was also injured.

After the triumphant return and the whole country was celebrating, Princess Lida secretly revealed the truth to her injured brother in order to comfort him. It turns out that the elder brother is not the son of the king and the princess, but the son of the princess and the god Zeus. Therefore, he is God and has eternal life. No one can harm him. After knowing it, my brother repeatedly promised not to tell anyone this secret, not even his dearest brother. Unfortunately, however, civil strife broke out among the warriors because of their struggle for merit, and they actually formed two factions, each of which disliked the other. Then they started fighting and the situation got out of hand. The two princes immediately rushed to stop it, but no one was willing to stop first. In the melee, someone stabbed his brother with a spear. In order to protect his brother, the younger brother bravely rushed forward and stood in front of his brother. As a result, the younger brother was killed and the older brother was in grief. In fact, if my brother has eternal life, how could he be killed? It's just that the unknowing younger brother loves his older brother too much. For this reason, the elder brother returned to heaven and asked Zeus to bring his younger brother back to life. Zeus frowned and said: "The only way is to give him half of your life force. In this way, he will live and you will become a mortal and die at any time." But the brother agreed without any hesitation. . He said that the younger brother can die for his elder brother, why can't the elder brother die for his younger brother? Zeus was very moved after hearing this and created a constellation in the name of the brothers and named it Gemini. Legend 2: It is said that the twin brothers Castor and Polyducus were brave and good at fighting. The elder brother became an equestrian expert, and the younger brother was good at archery and boxing and became famous. The two worked closely together in many wars, going through life and death. In a battle, his brother was injured and died. The younger brother was distraught and begged Zeus to redeem his brother with his own life. Zeus was deeply moved and placed both of them in the sky as Gemini, never to be separated. From dusk to night in winter, it can be seen from the zenith. Legend 3: In Egypt, its name was called "Twin Stars", named after the two brightest stars in the constellation, Castor and Hecules. There are two other sets of names for these two stars, namely Hecules and Apollo, Tritolemus and Iasaion. The Egyptians believed that Gemini was a child, not the common adult image. No comments

Introduction

Myth is a product of human childhood, and it has eternal charm. Greek mythology has been around for a long time because of its relatively complete system and unique literary charm. Greek mythology and biblical mythology have had a comprehensive and profound impact on the religion, philosophy, thought, customs, natural science, literature and art of the entire West and even mankind. When you come into contact with Western culture, you are bound to encounter allusions from Greek mythology. Almost every important classic Western literary work involves characters and plots from Greek mythology, and some are even directly based on Greek mythology. Today, although we do not have to "call everything Greek", a systematic understanding of Greek mythology is necessary for every modern person.

"Greek Mythology" is a collection of stories about gods and heroes from the ancient Greek nation. It interweaves real life with fantasy, creating an all-encompassing and magnificent world for people, and vividly depicts the social life of the ancient Greeks. There are many stories such as Jason stealing the Golden Fleece, and the hero Heracles establishing the Ten The Two Servants, the Trojan War, etc. have become household stories. To this day, Greek mythology still remains in people's consciousness with its beautiful images and rich poetic flavor, and has been handed down as an eternal theme in literature and art.

『四』Characteristics of Apollo, Athena, and Prometheus, interesting story fragments in Greek mythology, and reflections on reading experience

Apollo: the god of literature and art, He is in charge of light, youth, medicine, animal husbandry, music, etc. (sometimes he plays a guest role as God of War and predicts). He is also one of the handsome boys in Greek mythology, with a perfect figure of nine heads and a high musical attainment.

Apollo is the god of light. Darkness cannot be found in Apollo. He never lies and is aboveboard, so he is also called the God of Truth (upright)

Once he Accept the challenge from the mortal musician Masyas to enter a contest. After defeating his opponent, he punished his hubris by skinning his opponent to death. When competing with God Pan in music, he turned his ears into donkey ears (a bit cruel) because he was dissatisfied with a king who did not support him (asking the god of wine for the Midas touch) (a bit cruel)

Once helped Hermes, the son of the goddess of wind and rain, came to live in Olympus. For Hermes, Apollo personally went to persuade Hera. Hermes deceived Apollo and stole Apollo's cattle. But he exchanged the lyre he made with Apollo, and Apollo finally forgave him and gave him the cow. (Quite kind)

Apollo underestimated the little god of love, Eros, which caused his proposal to fail. (A bit arrogant, right)

Athena: The ruler of dark clouds and thunder, goddess of fertility, goddess of war, goddess of crafts. She is also the protector of science and the goddess of wisdom. She gives laws to the world and maintains them. social order.

A young girl named Arcne boasted that she could defeat the goddess Athena if given the chance. The goddess dressed up as an old woman and advised Alcne to be more modest. But the ignorant craftswoman bravely challenged her. The goddess took off her disguise and accepted the challenge. Both women immediately set to work on their respective works. The patterns designed by the goddess told the story of her fight with Poseidon, while Alcmene weaved the story of the Golden Apple Incident, in which the three goddesses stripped off their clothes to a mortal in a fight for vanity. Athena became angry and tore the other's work into pieces. Alcmene felt wronged and committed suicide. The goddess took pity on her and turned her into a spider, allowing her to weave forever and continue to do what she likes (like the story of Apollo, who cannot tolerate challenges from others and is relatively soft-hearted)

Athena is also the goddess of war. Because of Athena's active performance in the Trojan War, her reputation as the God of War even surpassed Ares. Her Trojan horse strategy was also one of the main reasons for the Greeks' final victory. But Athena is different from Ares. Ares loves war, and although Athena is the god of war, she loves peace. This is why Athens is called the "peace-loving city" (fairness, justice, and peace)

Because Athena had a relationship with Bo Poseidon fought for Athens, but it ended with Athena's victory, so Poseidon's lover Medusa (a normal beauty, most afraid of becoming a witch) asked her sisters (who are witches) to go to Athens to cause destruction. As a result, Athena found out and decided to punish Medusa. Poseidon's pleas were in vain, so Athena turned her into a witch. Anyone who saw her head would turn to stone. (There is no room for sand in the eyes)

There is a prophecy that Athena will replace Zeus as the main god, but the reason why there is no such thing is because Athena is a goddess and not a male god, so Athena decided to do it in order to dispel her father's doubts. She swore never to get married, so she is also one of the three virgin goddesses of Olympus (she is quite kind)

Prometheus: The miserable god with the ability to speak, Prometheus Sri Lanka has taught mankind a lot of knowledge. Zeus forbade humans to use fire, so he helped humans steal fire from Olympus

Help humans steal fire (smart and kind)

Together with Athena, he created creatures for the earth Sometimes I pinched clay figures and animals, because I gave too much spiritual energy to the animals, and in the end I had nothing left to give to humans (reckless?)

ps. You selected these three. . . What a coincidence, Athena and Apollo, as well as Prometheus, have all had scandals (legendary ones). . Moreover, Athena, Apollo, and Zeus are described in "Homer's Epic" as if they were a unified whole, and Prometheus stole fire twice, and was caught by Apollo the second time. So there was no stopping because "when Prometheus kissed her, there was no emotion in her eyes." This is something I saw before and I forgot where I saw it. It was more about "jealous of Prometheus's wisdom."

『五』I beg for my thoughts after reading the 1500-word Greek mythology and heroic legends

In the West, the amount of knowledge of Greek mythology has always been a measure of a person’s education level.

Greek mythology has long been an inseparable part of the entire Western culture. It is almost impossible to talk about Western culture without it. After reading Greek mythology carefully, I clearly understood that if you want to truly understand the West, Greece Mythology is an introductory course and a required course.

This book is divided into two parts, the first part: The World of the Lord God, and the second part: The Heroic Epic. I have become accustomed to the plots of the three generations of divine kings in heaven: father, eating, son, son killing father, father and son killing each other. I am tired of hearing all kinds of stories about people fighting for the throne regardless of family ties and morality, and I have experienced the power in the face of supremacy. of intrigue. In comparison, I prefer God's fables. Pandora's curiosity, Phael's ignorance and fearlessness, Icarus's ecstasy, Niobe's self-destruction, and Sisyphus's misfortune came from his mouth. Noble goddesses are not immune to the "golden apple" of vulgarity and inflated vanity. These meaningful fables contain so many profound philosophies of life. In the book, both gods and deified people (heroes) have human emotions, and their thoughts are imprinted with human marks. Although Greek mythology mainly praises the deeds of heroes, I think it also deeply exposes and criticizes the ugliness of human nature.

I have to marvel at the vivid imagination of the Greeks. They gave every mountain, every river, and even every flower, plant, and tree a divine meaning. They developed the sun god and the moon god early. , wind god, flower god, love god... These imaginations contain a strong religious flavor, just like the relatively loose relationship between gods. The wheel of time slowly rolls towards the master of Zeus. During the period of the Olympus Gods, the 12 main gods with Zeus as the core performed their respective duties. The entire heaven was in order, just like the order of the human world. When the Heroic Age came, the heroes of the human world made their debut, and they became the protagonist of the story. main character. Because these heroes have the blood of gods, they have extraordinary characters. They are engaged in human activities, have human emotions, good and evil, likes and dislikes, and display bravery and wisdom in disputes and competitions. In their stories, I read about the blood of war and the beauty of peace; I read about the romance of love and the cruelty of betrayal; I read about the loyalty of warriors; I also read about the dangers and evils of human nature... ....

The part that touched me the most and was also my favorite - the Battle of Troy. The well-known hero Achilles, who was born to fight, was brave and fearless and invincible in every battle. , finally became a weapon of war. While letting the Trojans bleed into rivers, he died on his little feet. Only then did he suddenly realize that no matter how great a person is, he is actually very small and heroic. The characters all have their own fatal weaknesses. Whether it was Achilles or Hector's death, it was all because of the face of the gods and the selfish desires of a love-struck prodigal. Human beings are like strings and puppets in the hands of the gods. The heroic fight of the heroes is just a gamble of the gods, and in this war it becomes more and more boring and ridiculous. War is always just a way of gambling for the fighting class, and the people are undoubtedly the eternal losers.

Ancient Greece, together with China, ancient Rome, and ancient Egypt, are known as ancient civilizations in the world. After reading "Greek Mythology", I realized how little I knew about Greece before. The word "ancient" It is full of thousands of years of culture, and my previous understanding of Greece was only the Olympics. Greece creates the enjoyment for people to come and go. It is like an endless blue ocean, and everything about it makes you intoxicated. , it allows you to learn the principles of life. Greek mythology clearly tells me that I must be good at distinguishing between beauty and ugliness, good and evil. Of course, there are also more perseverance, tenacious fighting spirit and the quality of repaying kindness, punishing evil and promoting good. It is like my life An important milestone in the journey. After passing it, I found that I became stronger.

This is a literary classic that has been tempered for 3,000 years. It is the origin of Western culture as much as the Bible. It is a must-read for understanding ancient Greek and even European culture. It is the basic material for countless literary and artistic activities. . It moved from legends to songs, from songs to stories, from stories to dramas, and then evolved into an epic poem popular throughout Greece. It conquered the Romans and conquered the whole world. From then on, the phrase "the conquered, the conquered, the conquered" was born. The culture of the conqueror conquered, the exclamation of "conquered". . . . .

"Lu" Thoughts on reading "Greek Mythology" 400 words

Books are like a bright moon in the vast sky; they are more like a beacon light in the vast sea. Leading to the boundless ocean of knowledge. I have read the book "Greek Mythology" before, but I can't quite understand the content. Reading this book again now feels very different.

Since I read this "Greek Mythology" again, I have been deeply attracted by many characters in it. Such as: Zeus, the Lord of the Gods, Hera, the Queen of Heaven, Poseidon, the King of the Sea, Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, Apollo, the God of Archery and Light, Artemis, the Goddess of Hunting and the Moon, and Aphrodite, the God of Love and Beauty. Inte, Ares, the god of war, Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmen, Hermes, the messenger, Demeter, the god of agriculture, and Hestia, the god of kitchen stoves. There are also some heroes: the Argonauts, Hercules, Jason, Bellerophon, Theseus... there are countless heroes in "Greek Mythology".

The gods in Greek mythology are different from the immortals in Chinese mythology.

They have the same emotions as humans. From the supreme Zeus to the little gods who have no power to live in peace, they are all allowed to have human emotions. However, Chinese gods are not allowed to have emotions, especially they are strictly forbidden to have emotions with mortals. , that is against the law of heaven. The so-called violation of the rules of heaven means violating the laws of heaven. For example, love stories such as Cowherd and Weaver Girl, Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies are all beautiful and touching, but their endings are all tragic. It is said that many famous heroes in Greece are descendants of gods and have the blood of gods.

The gods in Greek mythology not only have the same emotions as humans, but also participate in the disputes in the human world. The famous Trojan War, described in Homer's epic poem, is a battle between gods and gods, gods and humans. God also gets hurt, bleeds, grieves, and sheds tears. They are as real as humans. The only difference from humans is that they can stay young forever and have immortality. This is the same as the gods in Chinese mythology.

As the years go by, this book is gradually ignored by people, but it remains fresh in my mind. I was shocked when I finished reading this book. Myths are so magical, allowing me to enter the realm of fantasy and allowing me to appreciate the true meaning of the world. "Greek Mythology" has benefited me a lot.

In short, there is still a lot of wisdom hidden behind the stories of Greek mythology. We need to slowly taste and digest it...

"Qi" After reading Greek mythology, 50 words or less Urgently

The following mainly describes the content characteristics and overall reading experience of "Greek Mythology", as follows:

In Greek mythology, humans and gods coexist and have distinctive personalities. : There is the selfless Prometheus, the powerful and heroic Heracles, the born god singer Orpheus, Theseus who is also as famous as Hercules, and the beautiful goddess of wisdom Athena.

After reading "Ancient Greek Myths", I can appreciate the long historical civilization of ancient Greece, which is full of magic and wisdom. It is an epic between gods and humans. But whether they are gods or humans, they are not omnipotent. They all have their own weaknesses and strong opponents. This makes me understand that no matter how powerful a person is, he must always keep his weaknesses in mind and learn from each other's strengths. And learn to cooperate with others to become better.

(7) Extended reading experience of reading Greek mythology stories:

Greek mythology has a long history, a relatively complete system and unique literary charm, and has attracted attention from Europe and even the world. Greek mythology was naturally also a story passed down orally among the people in ancient times. With the integration of nations and the collection, processing and arrangement of people in the past generations, it gradually formed the world-famous scale it is today.

Greek mythology and biblical mythology have had a comprehensive and profound impact on the religion, philosophy, thought, customs, natural science, literature and art of the entire West and even mankind. When you come into contact with Western culture, you are bound to encounter allusions from Greek mythology. Almost every important classic Western literary work involves characters and plots from Greek mythology, and some are even directly based on Greek mythology.
